Autumn is
a second spring when every leaf is a flower. Autumn
brings lots of changes. The trees begin to change
colors, bringing a beautiful array of different colored
foliage, which eventually drops off. It also brings
cooler temperatures, and, as it progresses, we begin to
put up our summer clothes, short sleeves, etc., and
bring out our warm sweaters.
Autumn
especially September is the season when most hurricanes
occur. Indian Summer comes in late October or early
November, when there is especially fair weather and mild
days. There are no set days, but follows Autumn's first
period of cold, wintry days. It usually lasts one week
to ten days, sometimes two weeks. Other parts of the
world have similar periods of weather. Europe calls it
Old Wive's Summer. The English call it All Hallow Summer
or St. Martin's Summer. In Poland, it's called God's
Gift to Poland, and usually lasts four to five weeks. |
