Well I guess as one season ends so another begins – It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s official, summer is over and autumn has started. I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t believe how fast the leaves start to change colour, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only been a week and the once lush green leaves are now turning to rustic reds, oranges and yellows. The once balmy temperatures have expectantly turned frigid, seemingly overnight. I am not sad, I will not cry because I know that summer will come again. I actually prefer Autumn and spring to summer \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the weather is cooler making it more comfortable to sleep and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nice to live in a place where you get to truly experience all the seasons in their splendor and misery. \u00c2\u00a0I am going to try to get out more this autumn and take some nice scenic shots which I promise \u00e2\u20ac\u201c in my attempt to be more active here on our blog site\u00c2\u00a0 – to post at least a few of my pics for your enjoyment or critique.<\/p>\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not all bad \u00e2\u20ac\u201c I know there are a lot of nay sayers when it comes to the enjoyment of cooler temperatures but for you couch potatoes that means a new fall line up on TV or a chance to sit wrapped in a blanket with a good book. For the more adventurous folks there are fall fares and yard or garden prep for you home owners out there. Even though summer is finished I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t believe that I still have to cut the lawn at least once more. Weather permitting. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not an autumn lover take heart that not all is lost there is still that little warm spell lovingly known as Indian summer.<\/p>\n

The expression ‘Indian summer’ has been used for more than two centuries. The earliest known use was by French-American writer St. John de Crevecoeur<\/a> in rural New York<\/a> in 1778. There are several theories as to its etymology<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n
