Autumn Greetings

Because I was born and raised in the deep South, I experienced the change of seasons through images in magazines and on television: No colorful autumns, no snowy winters - just colder and drier weather, followed by spring and summer - and I was okay with that. Living in New England has made me appreciate the seasonal changes, but I'm still no fan of winter, or snow, and although I enjoy the colorful leaves, they always get blown off the trees and end up on the ground to turn brown and disappear before Halloween has arrived. Plentiful rain and sun, followed by chilly weather, can bring about a spectacular fall, and I know the snow and cold allows us to have a beautiful spring and summer, but I just wish it didn't last so long.

But since I can't do anything about that, I hope I get to enjoy a beautiful autumn, a not-too-harsh winter and an early spring. I wish the same to all of you.
