Most of you have probably noticed that, but it's a habit shared by many people; I'm not. alone. Spring means rebirth. Green grass is a welcome sigh of this rebirth, but before the grass can grow, spring has to bring a good;. hard rain to erase all the traces of dirty snow that are bound to cling to ditches and flowerbeds, Unfortunately, the rain sometimes. doesn't know when to quit and spring turns. into a soggy, muddy mess. ... , Summer, is often too hot, too humid, and it definitely brings too many thunder. storms... . Autumn can be cold, damp and downright dismal. For some of us, autumn is a sign that winter is just around the corner, and' as far as we're concerned, that's another strike'against it. Killer frost farmers can quickly turn andgardeners against fall, too. Winter is too cold, too snowy, too icy and just too unpredictable, Since '1 complain about. bad weather without hesitation, it seems only fair'' that I give, equal time to good weather. • • September of this year.,especially the last two weeks of the month; reminded. me what autumn is all about and convinced me it is my favourite season. As one person put it, that's the way every fall should be. The days were filled with sunshine. You could take a walk; along the beach wearing only slacks and a sweater. The gulls were unusually ' quiet; in fact, they were outnumbered. by ,ntonarch butterflies. The robin is a' sign of spring:. Monarch butterflies, when ' they, begin their migration, are a sure sign of autumn. In September, the airseemed filled: with, the orange and black beauties. Fog caused problems for motorists on several mornings, and they probably didn't view it with the same imagination that Carl Sandlautg used when. he wrote 'his poem "Fog." ',The fog conies on ' little cat feet, It sits looking Over harbour, and city On silent haunches and then, moves on." But when; the sunburned off the fog on the September mornings, the old phrase "autumtl's glow ; has touched the hills" didn't sound out, of place, . . Colour lou was still. on the trees; . o c o r n on had. to Worry about raking leaves; and we didn't smell thepungent odour of burning leaves in the air. Instead we took long. walks not for the sake . of participaction but . to enjoy the sunshine, the crisp air and the sound • of a fewcrackling leaves under our feet We temporarily ignored the price of gas. The country scenes on long slow Sunday drives• paid us back. Even through • the week, taking the long way around on necessary trips was excusable. At night, the air Was crisp and clear, and the cliche "the frost is onthe pumpkin" made sense.. The killer frosts of other years ',didn't strike in this .September, though. 'When September ended, the sunshine • disappeared and the hilisldes lost some of their brilliance.Theskies grew inevitably duller; winds blew. more briskly, and raking began: The drab part of Autumn had. arrived. • 1 But I'm not complaining, The two weeks of beautiful autumn weather .in September. will help to make whatever comes next more tolerable: Somenneexpressed a view with which I agree, • though; If only the September weather had stayed like that until April and then warmed up.
