Each season has its own sights and smells. Each has its particular light, temperature, weather, and foliage. Spring may be my favorite, but autumn is especially colorful and delightful!
Autumn reminds me of the natural rhythm and flow of life—of its cyclical nature. Though things wither and die, this is not the end. It is only a phase.
A time of contrasts and brilliant colors
A time of rich harvest
The annual cascade of autumn leaves
This year the summer solstice occurs on Sunday, June 20 at 10:32 PM CDT and marks the start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Many fun songs have been written about summer. The following are my Top Ten favorite songs about summer.
It has been hard to enjoy spring this year. Covid is still with us. The brutal attack on Ukraine brings a sense of sadness and horror dampening thoughts for world harmony. Pictures of families torn apart are heartbreaking. Seeing towns with buildings destroyed is hideous. This is such a waste. Do I still hope for the promise of spring?
As I looked outside this morning, I could not ignore the beauty in the awakening foliage and flowers. Try as I might to look away, to remain in a somber mood, and believe that all is lost—I could not stay in that mental space. Spring can’t be ignored.
