It feels like winter. Maybe it's an location thing, but it seems like summer melded into winter and passed over autumn completely! Which is a shame because, out of all the seasons, autumn is the most honest, most human. Sorry to be so lyrical, but it's true. Humans are indecisive and finicky and trite, and so is autumn. To me, autumn is merely the transition and not really a season at all; summer and winter, the extremes, are the true seasons. But what about spring? Spring represents Genesis, in my opinion - when things are born (reborn?) and fertility is supposed to flourish. It's lovely, but way too optimistic in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong, I like winter. But it's just that this year saw a missed fall, and I regret it.
