“Her pleasure in the walk must arise from the exercise and the day, from the view of the last smiles of the year upon the tawny leaves and withered hedges, and from repeating to herself some few of the thousand poetical descriptions extant of autumn–that season of peculiar and inexhaustible influence on the mind of taste and tenderness–that season which has drawn from every poet worthy of being read some attempt at description, or some lines of feeling.” – Jane Austen, Persuasion
Every season has its own characteristics and specific features that everyone finds pleasure in. However, autumn always seems to be a bit more special than some of the other seasons in my opinion. Even though I really love winter and spring, autumn is a special time of the year that feels cosy, offers lovely foods, features Halloween and gets everyone in the mood for winter and Christmas. The nature turns into lovely warm yellow-orange and golden colours as the weather becomes more rough, windy and wild. Unfortunately, it (increasingly) seems to be more rarely to actually experience a lovely autumn since summer often leads into winter and the other way around leaving spring and autumn out. Hence, it is even more important to cherish the rare autumnal days and to enjoy its lovely features while having a walk in the colourful forest, watching the leaves flying through the air, carried by the mild but wild autumnal storms, and getting soaked from the heavy rain after which one can snuggle under a warm blanket next to the fire place with a cup of tea, watching Halloween movies 😀
