The Unique Season Of Autumn

There is nothing like autumn. For me, no season quite compares to the
beauty and pleasure I experience each year as summer turns into autumn.

There are many reasons to love the season of autumn. One of the biggest
is the beauty of the season. If you were privileged to grow up in an
area that had a true autumn, then you know all about the way the colors

There is nothing like autumn. For me, no season quite compares to the

There are many reasons to love the season of autumn. One of the biggest
is the beauty of the season. If you were privileged to grow up in an
area that had a true autumn, then you know all about the way the colors
of the earth move from bright greens to the mixture of tones that is
golden, orange, red, and burgundy. You know that the colors begin to
change slowly, as if they will soon become a dead brown, and then the
brillance of autumn colors emerges from every area of trees. The beauty
of autumn is in the diversity of the colors and in their warmth.

Another great thing about autumn is the way it marks a new beginning. At
least for children and youth who are enjoying summer break, the
beginning of autumn marks for them the start of a whole new year. There
is excitement over what the new year of classes, teachers, and friends
will bring. And parents love the beginning of autumn because it means
their kids are once again spending their days safely in school. Parents
know that autumn means their children are learning and growing again.
Autumn marks the chance to begin again and to enjoy all of the pleasures
of the season.

The season of autumn holds many special and unique things to do. Do you
remember going to a pumpkin patch to pick out the perfect pumpkin? Did
your family or friends have a carving party to see who could create the
most unique or the scariest faces in the pumpkins? Did you bake the
seeds of the pumpkins and enjoy them later? Or perhaps you remember
going for long walks through the woods and collecting the autumn leaves
that had perfectly fallen from the trees. There is something special
about seeing how each leaf turns into a unique expression of autumn
colors taking over the summer hues. Maybe you have the special memory of
going on an autumn hayride each year or perhaps you remember enjoying
caramel apples, powdered donuts and apple cider with family and friends.

For many people thinking of autumn means celebrating the great holiday
of Thanksgiving. People look forward to spending a day recounting all of
the blessings in their lives. They enjoy time surrounded by family and
friends and together they reflect upon the year behind them and they
dream and hope about the new year ahead. Celebrating Thanksgiving is one
of the best reasons to anticipate the coming of autumn.

Whether you have never really loved autumn or whether it is your
favorite of the seasons, think about a new reason to appreciate the
unique time of year that is autumn.
