Autumn musings take us into a prelude to autumn, less than a week away. Can you believe it?
Time to pull out heavy sweaters, jackets and warmer clothing, but who really wants to put them on yet? I don't. Do you? Probably no one really does. Shoes and boots instead of summer sandals? Long pants in exchange for shorts? Socks instead of bare feet?
That's not all, fill up the freezer and the jars, if you have not already done so. Take in all of the plants and flowers, anything that will freeze, if left outside. Check the anti-freeze in the car, too.
Our thoughts and feelings change with the seasons.
Perhaps in some way there is always some degree of fear and trepidation, as we don't really want an encounter with cold weather, at least not yet. At the same time, we sense the dramatic change in the air and love the crackling sound and amazing colors of the leaves.
Where do our thoughts go in the prelude to autumn?
We think forward, not backwards.
Perhaps we continue to contemplate summer to some extent too, but there is always the excitement of the autumn to look forward to. Ice on the puddles?
Have a great writer's prelude to autumn day!
