Spring and Autumn
"Every season hath its pleasures;
Spring may boast her flowery prime,
Yet the vineyard's ruby treasures
Brighten Autumn's sob'rer time."
by Thomas Moore, The Poetical works, vol 1
It is always strange. I hate it when the days are longing. I love the long days of the summer. I am afraid of the very short days of winter. BUT......... when it happens. I love the colors of autumn, I love the smell of autumn. And I love candle light and the Christmas times and the cold and the beautiful white light of winter. How strange a person can be?
