One of my favorite seasons! The trees will soon start to take off all of their clothes, baring their branches and their trunks to the impending strokes of winter. The landscape is transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors as they drop their clothes (leaves) onto the floor! Yellows, browns, red and greens abound!
I call it the season of retrospection and preparation.
Have a look below at some of our early Autumn colors!
A "blonde" patch of leaves at the front of our "Silver Birch" tree indicating autumns approach.
A type of wild, day Lillie's at the border of our garden at the back! Day Lillie's because they sleep at night!
During late afternoon, the Lillie's fold up like this as they go to sleep!
Some garden flowers, I call it a razzmatazz of colors!
And finally some early morning succulent flowers!
I mentioned introspection in the introduction, it is also applicable to the human factor! Surely by the end of March, we will be able to measure our performances according to our annual plan and adjust the shortfalls!
What? No annual plan? Join the club! Every year thus far, I have never set a personal plan for myself!
Yes, plans and budgets are set for the Papillon charity and they are regularly inspected, but on a personal note, I am addicted to freedom.
Does it work? Yes indeed, for me it does! I simply roll with the punches and dance in the rain. Unexpected problems and unforeseen expenses cannot surprise me, as I simply view them in the broad mirror of life's experiences! Not that I loaf around, as I am one of the busiest guys that I know! But I have learn't one thing; you cannot possibly know what to expect tomorrow, next week, or next month!
The saying is; "You make your plans and then life happens" I say, let it be! Live a simple life, keep your nose out of other people's business and be kind to all that you encounter! A simple, but very effective recipe to life that works for me!
Oh! And of course be yourself at all times! Whatever they say behind your back is like the wind, as long as you don't hear it, and if you do, feel sorry for the scandal mongers as sooner or later they will be found out and discarded!
The truth cannot be hidden, but know that many have only winter in their minds and there are no other seasons in there! Only the bitter cold! Forgive them, for they do not know better!
Think about it!
