It is totally and completely Autumn time.
Sometimes that means lots of rain.
This does not bother me one inkling.
It is autumn. That is what it does in Autumn.
And it’s beautiful and I love it.
I love it when it’s raining outside and we are inside, maybe making forts with Mr. Right, maybe stringing bead necklaces, maybe watching Star Wars.
I love it when we’re outside and my bugs are wearing their hoodies and galoshes.
I love it when the sun makes corpuscular rays and lights up the evergreens on the farm nearby.
Autumn colors are much brighter against grey clouds.
Also it means Christmas is coming. The goose is getting fat.
I am perfectly happy with fall weather. Cold and dreary means warm and cheerful inside. With music, and candles and enchiladas. Which The Pirate gobbles, The Pixie sneers at and The Princess chokes down.
I am NEVER happy with fall weather in winter. THEN I think it is depressing. THEN I self-medicate with Netflix and on-line shopping. But that’s months away. Months I tell you. Let’s not even mention it.
Right now, if you are feeling a bit under…the weather…you need an upper. So whether you are Mormon or not I am pretty sure you’ll feel good when you read this.
