“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”
– Albert Camus
Fall and snowy winters are my favorite seasons. This year’s fall has come a bit later after we had a rather lengthy summer with a drought.
I love to see the blankets of leaves, which I don’t have to rake. I enjoy foggy mornings while having coffee on the balcony. Then we might have clear blue skies a.k.a. Indian summer (German: Altweibersommer = old women’s summer), when the yellow leaves are so bright against the deep blue sky. Autumn is full of change.
If time allows, I take morning walks through the nearby forest.

Another pretty sight in downtown Bad Homburg.
Amber-colored leaves
A Japanese maple in the sunshine
A dog rose bush providing tasty berries for Hagebuttenmarmelade (rose bush jam). When I was younger, this type of jam was available in supermarkets only between November and late spring. I suppose they have it year-round nowadays.
Against dreary November skies, a cup of hot mulled wine (German: Glühwein) might help in the evening. 🙂 With the mostly sunny days we’ve had, MY Glühwein bottle is still unopened.
