The Amazing Colors Of The Fall

The two glowing embers always follow me when I go for my walks. She sits down on the old gate when I go and patiently stays in the same spot until my return. Where are you going human? There have been only a few times her curiosity has taken her past the gate. Usually, when we cut the grass outside the gate she watches our every move to make sure we do a good job. The other time that comes to mind was when my brother and I decided to go for a walk to the lake at night time talking about life, the universe, and everything, and the Moon was looking huge and it was quite bright outside. She must have felt like expanding her world a little and followed us almost until the lake and then around the village. Sometimes I think she believes she is human too. Still, she is probably a Martian though, but one thing is for sure, she is one of us.

The shift is not only in the air but also in the light. Could the golden hour turn more golden? It would appear so. How lucky am I to live in a place where I can witness all four seasons? There are charms to all of them, even when we sometimes complain about being cold or how darker months make us depressed. The color bouquet the autumn brings along makes me joyful and I love the crunch of the fallen leaves and scent of the apples and plums about to fall from the trees.

I live for the sunny days of the fall as I love observing nature change all around me and dread the cold and the rainy ones which keep me indoors, mostly under a blanket wishing for a pair of fingerless gloves while using my laptop. The house is quite old and heats up very slowly. The darkness and gloominess impact my mood quite drastically. But then, I light a candle which somehow makes it better and more bearable.
