I have been pretty vocal about the severe drought my state is in. It really has taken a toll on us! Not only on our green grass and our pretty flowers. I am not a cold weather girl. I love the warmer weather. But, there is one part of the weather change that I look forward to each year. I love the beauty of the trees as they change colors. I posted a picture of one very pretty tree. It wasn't the greatest picture. The changing leaves on the tree are a beautiful combination of yellow and a light orange.
But, what has me sad is that there is one tree in particular that blazes with fiery colors every year. It is outside of my bosses window and I look forward to it's complete change every fall because it really is breathtakingly beautiful. Not this year though. It is a yawn in comparison to previous years.
So, not only are our lawns and flowerbeds being hurt by the drought in my state. The very passion that is the changing of the leaves from Summer to Fall is suffering as a result. The reds and oranges that usually remind me of some of the most beautiful sunsets ever seen by human eyes now make me think that Mother Nature needs to do her laundry. Her clothes are dingy and dirty.
So, this warm weather girl is not getting any break in pining for that summery weather. I can't count on the beauty of this season, as green turns to orange and red, to lift me from the inner blues that the cooler temperatures always inevitably bring me.
