We have been blessed with a planet that gives you beautiful summers! Where most everyone enjoys hearing the birds singing, children running and laughing, there is music in the air, and most people enjoying the heat of the day while others wish they could be sitting on a block of ice just to cool down.
Summer is also a time to enjoy the fruits and vegetables of the season. It is for those who have worked hard in there gardens, the best time of the year because all is fresh and ripe, ready for the picking. Its a time when all of the hard work pays off. Some they store in a cellar and some are canned, the rest is sold or given away to friends or family.
Then comes autumn! This time of year is beautiful. Its full of bright colors, reds, yellows, greens, and oranges. It is the time of year when most of the trees start to loose their leaves. What was once green starts to fade and slowly turn to bright beautiful colors. As the heat of the sun slowly diminishes so do the leaves of the trees and plants. Just as we are getting ourselves ready for colder times ahead, so are the animals, some are collecting there supplies for the winter and others are eating themselves into obesity, to be able to sustain themselves thru the winter, their coats become thicker and change colors too.
Winter is a time when the temperature drops very low, it is a very cold time of the year. If you are not prepared for winter, it could mean life or death. Most of the plant vegetation is gone and what you harvest in during the summer and autumn season is pretty much what you have to live on. That’s was how it use to be, but now there is more help then there once was. But when the snow comes, its very pretty to watch it fall. It’s very petite and quiet and very soft and silent. But don’t be fooled. If there is no shelter it can be pretty bad a slow death can await you if you are not prepared.
If you are prepared, there are many fun ways to have fun in the snow! Like snow ball fights. That’s always fun till someone gets hurt. Make a snowman. That can always help to clean up a sidewalk or driveway. Snow angel, or an igloo. I’m sure you can think of other ways to have fun in the snow. Soon that ends and spring comes.
Spring is awesome because it is when everything starts to slowly come back to life. The days are still cold. I call it the feud between winter and spring, a tug of war with each other and it wreaks havoc on everything. Winter tries to keep a strong hold trying to keep everything cold or frozen, but spring just lets time go by and soon winter gives up and lets spring have his way.
You start to see the newness of the season begin. You see the baby petals pushing out of the ground, you see new babies born from all creatures big and small, you start to feel the warmth of the sun, the warmth of the breeze, the branches start to bud. Everything starts to come alive from its slumber! I have to smile because it is earth waking up to give us a look at what is to come in this coming year!
With all that said, every season has come and gone, and the earth keeps giving and giving and we keep taking and taking but we have not been replacing or taking care of the beauty it has always shown us. Man has been so damn greedy only thinking on how to make a profit that he is changing the beauty of the land and the beautiful creatures upon it.
