The weather the last two months has been unusually warm for the time of year - as though summer continued far longer than normal. The weather has cooled off now and feels more like it should at this time of year but the leaves now seem to be changing colour and falling very quickly. Almost like they're making up for lost time. Autumn is my favourite time of year and I feel like I'm being cheated a bit - that there's not going to be a lot of lovely cool weather before the trees are all bare and we're having winter temperatures.
I do like winter. It's a vast improvement over hot humid summer weather. But autumn weather is perfect.
So I remind myself to enjoy each autumn day that happens. I'm of an age where I find myself wondering at times if this will be my last autumn or my last year. Or even my last day. That's not a bad thing, It's doesn't hurt to focus on the "now" and appreciate it.
