Autumn is coming

Right now, the sun is still shining. But at the coast (about 88 km from Dendermonde) it's already raining and we may expect the same in an hour or so. The temperature is going to drop as well. So the coming days will very much look like autumn!

Well, autumn has its charms of course. When it's not too windy or raining, it's fun to walk into nature to see how the season changes. The trees get different colors and the leaves begin to fall. In the evening, night falls sooner and when it's dark it's cozy to curl up into the sofa and watch some TV, with a glass of good wine in hand. (And something to put between the teeth...)

Each season has its charm. But unfortunately, with the change in climate, the seasons are not always like they should be. Sometimes you get winter in summer, or summer in autumn. Remember, this past year it was already high summer during the Easter break! And we didn't get much of winter too. But then I also remember a year in which we had to put on a fire in July and August, when it kept raining days at an end (21 to be exact) and it was cold as in winter...

I don't have a favorite season. I love summer, when the sun is out and you can do all kind of things outside. I love winter, when there is snow and ice. Spring brings the promise of new life, and in autums the color scheme is at its most beautiful.

Do you have a favorite?
