Falling Backwards: Autumn Memories
For most, the weather is starting to cool down as the leaves start to change color and fall to the ground. The smell of apple and pumpkin fills the air of grocery stores and coffee shops as Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations line store shelves, street lamps, and fronts of houses. Autumn is here once again. I consider it my favorite season since it is so beautiful to walk through. The temperature is perfect out as it is not too cold nor too hot and there is usually a nice breeze that makes the now orange, yellow, and brown leaves dance in the air before landing on the ground before being raked into piles perfect to dive into.
As Thanksgiving approached, the more leaves fell and the colder it got. I used to go on random day trips with my family to watch the leaves fall and see the trees. We didn’t have to travel far for it. The shades of orange, yellow, red, and brown made it more mystifying than it was since it is ever changing, and colors mixed on the same leaf as well. I also enjoyed the decorations in front of the houses. Seeing the scarecrows and pumpkins made it fun.
As for Thanksgiving itself, I would be watching my grandmother and mother cook while the Macy’s Parade and whatever cartoons and movies were on TV before dinner as my empty stomach growled at me throughout the day. Before dinner, family came with their own offerings as we gathered in the kitchen and living room. When dinner time came we sat at the table, well the adults did, I had to sit at the kids table until I was about twelve. We had the small TV playing in the corner of the kitchen while the kids ate. After dinner it was the family tradition to decorate the Christmas tree and light it up.
Being an adult I still love autumn. It’s perfect for looking back and reflecting on both the memories of the past summer as well as years gone by. The leaves still amaze me whenever I see them. The little things in autumn can bring out the best of memories. So enjoy this season and give time to look back and enjoy life.
