The season has lovely aspects, without a doubt: bright colored leaves, riotous hues.
But I find that the decline of year, the chilling of the weather (though refreshing at times), the Halloween holiday is not my favorite-it was about fun and kids in costumes, excited about candy; now the decorations are quite morbid. The decreasing daylight--the sun is so low in the sky.
However, after December 21, the light slowly begins to return, the days seem to lengthen. Somehow, immediately, just after Christmas, I feel better, more hopeful. I always look forward to garden activities, the plans to start the seeds. Soon you begin to hear the birds--cardinals and chickadees--tweeting their "spring songs". It just feels so much better.
