Wednseday

It has started raining now and you can feel how much the temperature has dropped.  It's going to really drop over night and over the next few days.  I think our time for Fall has finally arrived.  I wouldn't be surprised if it snowed by the end of October.  Something is telling me we are to have a lot of snow this year.  We have been spoiled over the last two winters with little snow and milder than usual winters but I think we are going to make up for it this year.
It grows dark so quickly now too.  Soon it will be dark when I go to work and dark when I leave.  It gets rather depressing, the long nights, but they won't last for too long.  Besides I do like the night.  Here there is little light pollution from the city.  It's not that large and we don't have all those lights a downtown metropolis would have.  When it's cold and the sky is clear, millions of stars are twinkling above and the Moon, well it is glorious and so so silver.  It lights up the snow and makes is sparkle in a blue hue from the frosted Moon.
Things seem to quieten down so much more at night too.  Some nights when it snows, you can hear the hush of the falling snow as it gently rests on the trees and ground as if it is shushing you, telling you to listen to the magick of the silence.
Ah, but those days aren't here quite yet and Gaia is still painting the landscape in all her favorite colours.  The trees almost look ablaze with red, orange and yellow flames.  A final hurrah to Summer's warmth and sunshine  before the icy touch of Mr. Frost as he travels from window to window painting ice on the pains of glass.
Seasons come and go and the wheel turns and turns.  Each season has their own majesty and hypnotic trance that carries you from one to the next. I suppose in my Crone years I notice them more even if they do seem to go by quicker.
Welcome Fall to my world, welcome to my life.
