Autumn winds

Tomorrow is September 1 and the first day of the autumn months. The reminder of a colder season is almost gone since the sun has been shining both today and yesterday. But the mornings are cold and when I get up at six o’clock it’s almost dark outside, especially if it’s cloudy. But everything isn’t bad about the autumn. Just earlier today I realised that the leaves sounds different now blowing in the wind. During the spring and summer it’s more a like a whispering sound luring you outside. Now the sound is dry and harder. Even though the sound now tells me that summer is over and it’s time to go inside, it somehow also fills me with some sense of comfort. Comfort that everything goes in circles and that Mother Nature simply is amazing. It also comforting to know that it’s OK to be inside a whole day reading curled up on the sofa with a blanket. To light candles, sip tea and listen to the rain and wind outside. To go to bed early, snuggle under the duvet and just sleep. I have to admit thinking about all those things makes autumn less daunting. So let the rain come. I’m ready with my books!
