Autumn begins

Well, it’s not that far yet, but every now and then you could say it’s autumn. Delicious. The wind howls around the house. The rain patters against the windows. Secretly, autumn is quite a beautiful period. After an occasionally warm summer, it’s time to enjoy yourself again.
After spring, when everything that seemed dead for a long time comes back to life, we had a wonderful summer. There were many warm days, sometimes even tropical days. We also had quite a few showers, which might have made you think it was autumn already.
But no, it won’t be official until autumn. Then people will no longer look at you strangely when you dress warmly. The winter meals are also on the table again: bean soup and pea soup. Everything we didn’t want to eat during the summer.
I personally think spring is a nice season. You see that everything that was young and green in the autumn and grew up in the summer, is now slowly moving towards winter. Everything turns a brown color, as if life says: ‘I’m glad I survived the spring and summer of my life. Now it’s time to enjoy the work I’ve done. Everything takes on that color and smell of satisfaction and maturity.
The days are also past their peak. After the longest day on June 20, the days quickly become shorter again. Only recently you couldn’t sleep because of the light of the sun. Now we’re almost eating in the dark again.
Conviviality
These are also the moments when we all look for fun at home again. Until now we were often found outside. On the beach, or in the city on a terrace. Now we’re looking for it indoors. At home, with the curtains closed, the stove on. Delicious. Bring on autumn.
