Fall in St. Louis

“But these are the days we dream about, 

when the sunlight paints us gold.”

For some, the changing of the trees is an indication 

of summer days long gone, and Jack Frost creeping

 up around the corner. But that short little transitional period

 in between, is one we love so much; Fall.

You really can’t beat fall in South St. Louis. There is just 

something so magical about the color of the trees

 mixed with the lines of brick houses, smoke billowing

 from the chimneys. And every so often you can hear the 

faint sounds of laughter from neighbors gathered 

around a bonfire in the backyard.

Our favorite spot to admire during this time is

 Francis Park. When we first moved in the city 7 

years back, this park captured our hearts in the fall. 

On of our favorite things to do is spend a sunny Saturday 

walking around the tree lined perimeter of the park with

 Frank Sinatra playing. Fall + Frank; Something about

 the mixture of the two just seems right.

We’ve been getting a little weepy at the half barren trees,

 knowing that at any moment, all the beauty will fall to the 

ground, and winter will be here. But for now, we are 

savoring all the moments we can until that day comes.

We truly feel lucky to live in this neighborhood,

 especially in the Fall.
