Right after heavy rains, the front went through and the sky
The sun shown down and caused glistening raindrops
glowing golden leaves
vivid orange mums
and multicolored maples
~No wonder autumn is a favorite season for so many~
Autumn is youthful, mirthful, frolicsome ~ the child of summer’s joy ~ and
on every side there are suggestions of juvenility and mischief.
on every side there are suggestions of juvenility and mischief.
While spring is a careful artist who paints each flower
with delicate workmanship,
autumn flings whole pots of paint about in wild carelessness.
The crimson and scarlet colours reserved for roses and tulips are
splashed on the brambles till every bush is aflame, and the
old creeper-covered house blushes like a sunset.

Such gorgeous autumn colors. I hope that it stops raining soon around here and I get to enjoy a little more of autumn before it turns in to winter.
