Thank you for reminding me of all I miss about seasons, such as autumn. I have lived in Thailand for more than twenty years. It is less hot in the "winter" months than the "summer". Some periods of the year can be less or more wet (and I mean WET, water coming fown in sheets not raindrops).
Two days ago, I set out to cross a road, perfectly dry, but with dark clouds lowering above me. I was drenched to the skin (including socks, shoes, underwear) before I got to the opposite side of the road.
I miss the white beauty of winter but not the bitter cold and slipperiness. I miss the Spring flowers and new leaves on naked trees. I miss the coloured leaves falling from deciduous trees. Nevertheless, I like living here.
Nos, this was the perfect invitation to find my inner cozy and let it guide me into autumn. This my favorite season, too. As an avid gardener/farmer of food from my backyard, I love this time of scurrying about to harvest all of the last things and put them up before the rain starts. But it's exhausting. So the reward for that labor is all of the rest time that comes with fall and winter, where I can cozy up with a blanket, a fire in the woodstove, and a seed catalog for next year's garden.
