Autumnal

Filed Under A 

I love the way it’s spelled, as one of the very few words in English with “umn.” Autumnal has the edge over autumn because of the sheer sensual pleasure of rolling your lips as you pronounce the last three letters. And that’s before you get to the meaning. Autumn is my favorite season, mists, mellow fruitfulness, smoke, ripening apples, reddening leaves, the whole atmosphere of battening down snugly for winter.
