autumnsfall

Contrary to popular belief, winter actually begins in autumn, which actually begins in summer, and so on, and so on…
Autumnsfall wraps itself in the smell of burning leaves and October campfires. A tapestry of leaves, dull and bright, fills the summer canvas as they change from green to red to a golden brown. It marks the descent of leaves from their summer nests. They carpet the earth with their crunchy shells.
Each day is shorter than the last. Each day is colder, too. Animals scamper to and fro, making final preparations for the long winter ahead. Acorns fall from high above. Some are lost and some are found. Those that are found keep the forest animals safe for another long winter. Those that are lost plant themselves in the ground, only to reappear the next spring as brand new trees.
Autumnsfall is also the time we are reminded that as the days grow shorter, we’re struggling to hold on before the days pass us by.
