We just met Autumn of 2007. Not much has changed really in the scenery to suggest that, but the cool damp feel of Autumn is very much here, and this time, she seems to want to stay.If the seasons were all feminine, then Summer would be a mother - verdant and fertile though short-tempered at times, Spring an ebullient young child and winter an old grandma with flowing white hair sometimes grumpy but glorious nonetheless.
Fall would definitely be a raven haired dark eyed lady, forever young and beautiful at heart, artistic and creative in all her expressions. You can easily picture her smiling eyes looking into the depths of your soul and seeing you in a way that you feel good about just being yourself and smile with her. Wearing myriad beads, trinkets and a long flowing skirt with shades of bright crimson, peach, orange and gold she sashays around stoically with a calm dignity. Now and then you catch the golden sun gleaming in her hair or shining through her beads. The moods of the moment are a quiet reserve and noble poise.While all my entreaties to mom summer to leave and make way for lady Autumn were met with scorching episodes, I know that if I try to make her overstay, grandma winter might have a rather frigid reaction. Besides she starts getting bored and listless after a while and begins to long for faraway lands. Fickleness of temperament is part of her being.
So, enjoy her company while she stays.
