Autumn

fall. falling. fell. autumn.

yes, so i know it started on the 22nd of september... almost two months ago. i wonder why i've never blogged an autumn post, but i didn't and so i am now. i did, however, blog a saying goodbye to summer post put up in september. a little before autumn started. and then it started and i didn't pay attention, not so much this year.
i like this season. i love how the leaves change color. it's magic. it's like you don't know how it happens - it just does. and you take advantage of it, the color, the prettiness. it's gorgeous especially when the sun's about to set and it goes through the leaves. but you don't notice. no, you just groan when the wind blows and you have to go rake up the "mess" again. again. again. again. it happens every year, and you don't care.
until now. i'm serious - go look outside. pull away the curtain or pull down the blind and peek. one little peek. it's mostly gone. you missed it. but there's still just one leaf clinging on, waiting for you. so look. enjoy it. take a picture of it. remember it. it's only going to happen once a year. you'll have to wait another 365 days or so to see it again. love it. it's beautiful.
it's autumn.
