Autumn began yesterday...

What is your favorite season?

Every season is my favorite season.
There are wonders of nature in each and single one of the four seasons.
One has to look for them, and be moved by them.
Feel the wonders, become the wonders, appreciate them,
Breath them, feel them.

Spring with its breathtaking greens,
Its amazing blooming smells with can easily cast a spell on you.
Everything comes to life once more.
Doesnt it seem that we can breath a litttle easier when spring arrives?
Or that we want to expose ourselves a little more to this world?

Spring, I love your promising buds, your melting cascades,
Your fresh air, your promise of better days
Thank you Spring

Summer follows, with the caresses of the sun,
With its rays flirting with you.
Undressing you layers by layers.
Kids laughing, adults walking with a "happy go lucky" walk
Longer days, longer nights
Warm nights, starry nights
Campfires, songs, marshmallows...
Summer seems so short... and yet... no longer or shorter than its sibblings

Summer, I love your warmth, your plentiful harvests,
Your hot sands, refreshing waters, cool ice creams,
Smiles on everyone's faces
Your long languorous days, your sexy nights
Thank you Summer

Humbly leaving the stage for Autumn and its splendors.
Velvety blanket of earthy colors,
Enveloping you in a comforting aura of gold, red, brownish hues.
Intoxicating with its sensuous smells of rain and earth
Nude and defenseless, it seems, to face Mr. Winter
Yet, solidly anchored to Mother Earth,
Confident as can be, almost arrogant,
As he knows that his time to reign will come again.

Autumn, I love your colours, your fresh winds,
Your rainy days, your pumpkins patches,
Your voluptuous odors, your rooting mood
Thank you Autumn

Smoothly makes its way winter,
Wooing you first by soflty, almost sensuously
Covering you with its immense white unique jewels
Making you shiver from head to toe,
So much that you just want to cuddle with your warmest blanket,
By the fireplace, with a warm beverage and a good book
Time to recharge your batteries,
To reflect on the gifts and mishaps
That spring, summer and fall brought along their way.

Winter, I love your snowflakes, your snowman, your silent blanket,
Your crisp nights, the pause your offering me.
Thank you Winter.

Count your blessings everyday.
Everyday is a blessing of Mother Nature.
Everyday is a miracle.
Thank you, Mother Nature.
