As I look out my window I see the birds flying over and the trees with many different colors. When I see these things I realize that winter is coming and coming fast. The day is gloomy with the rain falling to the ground and the wind blows sending a chill into the air. The sun decides to hide behind the clouds not wanting to share the warmth with anyone or anything. The leaves start to change colors and soon they fall to the ground. Could it be that time of year again when the seasons are changing again?
Wouldn't it be nice if the weather just stayed the same all year round? I know I would be a very happy person if it did. Everyone knows that the seasons change for a reason. On a day such as this I wish for the sun to come out so it could be warm, but you don't always get what you want. The days go by and time flies on to the never-ending travel. Ideas run my mind, but never come together as one big thought.
As the weather get colder the snow will come through the land making everything white. The small ponds and lakes will turn to ice as the air becomes colder. The wind becomes so cold it feels like ice running the body. The coldness will make you want to stay inside by the warm fireplace. The animals go off to hide and stay together to keep warm.
As spring becomes known, the wind blows warm air through your air and across your face. The trees begin to bloom with green leaves that sway in the wind. The grass turns bright green and the flowers start to bloom with such gracious petals and leaves. This is my favorite part of the year. I like to hike to see what all is new for the season. The animals are eager for the new season.
With those thoughts in hand, I like the seasons even though they may be hot or hot. The season help the land to be what they need to be. That is part of th world's never-ending cycle of the seasons. Think of what makes you happiest those seasons. I know I have many times.
