Today was the first full day of autumn. I went to an appointment, had a virtual chat with a friend and walked out to Main Street to do errands. The day was sunny and hot feeling -- 24C (75F) feeling like 30C (86F). I like this part of fall when there are warmer days and cooler nights. Often humidity is lower, but that depends on weather patterns from the tropics. Hurricane season goes into November, so there is still time for some of that type of weather.
I love the colours of leaves as they change, especially in the middle of the Acadian Forest with tons of deciduous hardwood -- maples and oaks. I don't like that this season ends in winter -- my least favourite season. If spring followed fall and trees became clothed again, I'd be very happy. Is there a place where this happens? Hmmm Will need to consult Mr. Google. <grin>
It isn't easy to find an upbeat song about autumn. It is a major metaphor for darkness and endings rather than a time to rest and enjoy harvested food and accomplishments. Making plans to visit loved ones or travel to favourite spots may lighten moods. These song lyrics hit the high points of the next few months. Keep safe. Enjoy!
Autumn Song -- Van Morrison
