5 Amazing Things About Fall (and one sad thing) via LaurieJStone
Fall’s here in New England and I’m happy. Yes, spring is lovely and summer’s fun. Even old man winter has his icy grandeur. But nothing compares to autumn’s beauty and poignancy. And though this season comes at a price, I still love it for these five reasons….– In Connecticut, we’re treated to a riot of golden, red, and yellow foliage everywhere. Trees become gasp-inducing works of art. They form sunlit bowers over country roads. Leaves pile up in heaps on lawns and streets.
Fall feels like a beautiful, bon voyage party. And deep down, as those leaves fall, we know we’re all saying goodbye — to light, long days, to eating watermelon on the back porch, to feeling like life will always be sunny and soft and easy, to even time itself. There’s something mysterious and unknowable about autumn. We sense it holds secrets that it’s not telling. It’s no coincidence that our scariest holiday, Halloween, with its ghosts and witches and cemeteries, comes this time of year.
And before we know it, fall will be done. Brown leaves will lie in heaps on the ground. Trees will be bare. Winter coats will come out. Fall will be over, for now. And what can we do, but stop and appreciate this gift while we can, this season of contradictions – happy but melancholy, abundant but ultimately bare, mysterious and yet colorful and alive.How do you feel about fall?
