Autumn is the third season of the year, when crops and fruits are gathered and leaves fall, in the northern hemisphere from September to November and in the southern hemisphere from March to May.
I remember an episode of As Told By Ginger where Carl wishes away a female classmate, only to regret the decision when she leaves shortly after he gets to know her, as the somber brown and yellow of autumnal trees bitten by frost, all against the backdrop of a serene, cold sky fed into that melancholic sense of opportunity passed.
I get excite every year at the end of summer knowing that October is so close, which means cooler weather and colorful leaves floating down to the ground.
