Six months ago I blogged about spring and how nice it was to experience the season. Well' I'm here to blog about autumn.I haven't been known to love fall because it seems that this neck of the woods has a week, maybe two, of what I would call autumn weather and then BAM! snow hits and it is winter. But, this last month has been spectacular. We have cool mornings and then wonderfully warm afternoons and evenings. It is the kind of weather that you must dress one way for mornings and then another way for the afternoon. And with this fantastic weather has come beautiful colors to enjoy. The leaves have lingered in their perfect color array for much longer than normal. The yellows, oranges and reds cling to the branches and gently twirls to the ground as opposed to yellow to brown to ground in seconds. I am loving it!
My favorite part has been the near daily chore of raking leaves. We rake in the afternoon and by morning, as I step out for my short jaunt to school, the grass is covered again. I don't mind it because I know that the entire time I'm outside I am "stealing" away the memories of a fall that hasn't been seen before and may not be seen again. I wish this blog could have smell-a-vision so I could share the scent of those leaves as they are pushed and pulled into small piles dotting the yard. It is wonderful!
Life is good! I do love the changing seasons of 2015. And I'd better go take Buddy for a walk before it is too cold and we aren't able.
