As The Autumn Days Begin {2014}

What a lovely day indeed.  Though the wind blows hard and unsteady, the sun shines so brightly making an otherwise cold day into a nice, comfortable, beautiful day.

Two days ago was the first day of Autumn this year.  The day was announced by bleak winds and lightly overcast skies that necessitated digging out thick clothing from storage.  "It cannot be put off much longer,"  I told myself as I hesitantly put on a light winter jacket.  Then followed by a weak smile of disapproval: "Oh that just looks silly..." Hence comes a light fall jacket instead.  Regrets came afterwards when it fell short of keeping these little bones of mine warm.  So today I made sure I had the winters on - So glad to be wrong and the day turned out to be so lovely.

Took a little walk along the lake this afternoon... Here and there are bright red leaves that used to be lush greens.  The birds are gathering together.  Are they getting ready to fly down south soon?  'Snow Birds' they are fondly called for they leave the land of cold winters for the warmer 'southern exposure.' Oh I'm so jealous.

The waters down this lake had always been chocolatey - it flows from the famous "Chocolate River" I guess. 

Some trees refuse to change color, holding on to summer... Yet some seem to be more than happy as this bright yellow tree.  I cannot lie, I find this really pretty.  Autumn is such a beautiful season. Though I can't say I'm too fond about the why's behind the change of colors nor about the season that follows.  Nevertheless, while it last, it's surely is a fount of delight.
