Autumnal Despair....

Fall is in the air all over the world, trees are changing their colors, the air is getting cool and crisp, people are pulling out their sweaters and putting on their scarfs...or so I imagine. I live in a place of eternal summer. Sounds blissful, doesn't it? But its NOT. Fall is but a wishful thought, and the only time the leaves turn color is when the sun burns them to a crisp and the leaves give up the will to live and fall to the ground. Those are the only signs of "fall " around here. Thankfully, I have 2o years of wonderful Colorado autumns to remember. In my mind, nothing is more beautiful than a drive to Aspen to see all the aspen trees changing colors! That thought preserves me from autumnal despair. (Yes, in El Centro there is such a thing!) Happy Fall Everyone!!!
