Giant pumpkins. Cozy flannels. Hot apple cider. Leaves crunching underfoot in the cool, crisp mornings. Corn mazes. The pleasure of making a passed-down soup recipe once again. Geese overhead, honking as they fly south. Harvest. Sweater weather.

Fall is here, and for many of us, the season brings with it a whole new way of experiencing the world we inhabit. As our planet tilts and our hemisphere moves away from the sun, the light we depend on for so much lengthens, deepening our shadows as the days shorten, the world around us sleeping in a bit longer each night.

Poet John Keats called autumn a “season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,” while a different kind of poet, Winnie The Pooh, put a more energetic spin on the season, exclaiming “It's the first day of autumn! A time for hot chocolatey mornings, and toasting marshmallow evenings, as best of all, leaping into *leaves*!” Both quotes, however, evoke something of the magic of this time of crisp, cool sweetness.

The changing of the season is also a reminder that, though those of us in New Mexico (who thrill to the perfume of green chilis roasting in the air) experience fall differently than those in New England (where apple cider doughnuts and roadside pumpkins are a way of life), we’re all here on this Earth of ours together, spinning elliptically around our distant star.

To help you swing into the mood of the season, our editorial team has assembled the following array of fall-forward videos and articles. Enjoy, and from all of us to you: HAPPY FALL!
