But when October goes....
Autumn is an undeniably beautiful season, but for me, the shortening of the days and the cooler temperatures (although it still feels like summer here in Chester County today) give me a blue feeling.
My pool closed last week, and the task of putting everything away until next summer begins. If you have a pool, you are wise to have it closed professionally. In our area, I've been using Great Valley Pools since the pool opened over 20 years ago. After they do their job, I start with the umbrellas, pool floats, and toys, etc. It's a sad job for me because I am a summer person.
To counteract the blue feeling, instead of a walk after dinner with my little dog Joey, I try to take a break from work during the day and get some sun on our faces. Here is a photo of Joey, enjoying the last Sunday by the pool.
October symbolizes change, harvest, and transition as we go from the long and sometimes lazy days of summer into the shorter, cooler months of Autumn. The trees show off their gorgeous fall colors, people decorate their porches and front steps with pumpkins, and our little ones look forward to trick-or-treating. We go from juicy peaches and watermelons to crisp apples and tasty oranges.
I'm trying to talk and type myself into enjoying the fall, in case this isn't obvious.
Could you help me? What do you like best about Autumn?
