Is Autumn moody???

Autumn, is probably the least favourite season. It's change signals the most contrast. We have that sense of the long winter ahead, for us generally lots of rain. But Autumn shows her best colours at the beginning, drops in temperature then a slight raise and you sigh thinking oh the good weather will go for a bit longer. On her beautiful mornings the air is crisp and the sky blue but really Autumn has moody changes as with my photo of the city on this morning's walk.
But with the Autumn change we also can change our lifestyle in preparation....food and the change of season is always a great option, the warm aromas of gently cooking casseroles and soups are an upside.
And time for one of those gorgeous Merino wraps for around the shoulders in the evenings, just to keep the chill at bay.
The best thing, I think, about Autumn is the leaves, I never tire of the colours. Whilst I have ceased gathering stacks of fallen coloured leaves to don the mantle, I still love them and marvel at the amazing colours of Mother Nature.
Maybe because she provides contrast, we symbolise it as change....but whatever we think of Autumn the colours are wonderful.
