Judith Whitehead is back guest-blogging on this Inspirational Monday about the seasons of nature...Judith lives in Amherst N.Y. has worked in the ophthalmology field of medicine for almost 30 years...
One of the best times of the year is quickly approaching in New York, Fall, or Autumn, or the precursor to Winter. It is one of the best times of the year for us, the earth is starting its preparation for winter. Leaves are slowly beginning to change and fall, and the air is cold and crisp in the morning. Pumpkins and cider Are being sold everywhere, hay rides are offered at the farms and bushels of apples can be found in every store just ready to make applesauce with or pies . In a way, a sadness is in the air as well because we know what’s about to happen…the white stuff can fly though the air at any minute…snow.
We know in Buffalo that all too often today can be a sunny, semi-warm day only to wake up to the cold blowing snow the next, at this time of year. We try and trick our selves at this time of year, telling ourselves that this will be a mild winter and maybe there won’t be much snow; we just don’t learn.
When you choose to live in this part of the country, it’s inevitable. Winter has never let us down yet.
So as I enjoy the fresh smell of Fall, knit a new scarf for the winter, and cover my out of door bushes so the deer don’t get too carried away this year, I will reminisce about what a wonderfully warm summer we just had, all the trips and enjoyable things that happened this year, and batten down the hatches for another cold season that just lies ahead.
As we approach Halloween quickly and dream of Thanksgiving and all the great smells that lie ahead, I can only hope we don’t get snow for these up in coming holidays; nature has tricked us before.

I miss the Fall, however I don't need to worry about snow no more, although when I lived in Alaska I loved the snow and cross country skiing. There's a season for everything and for everything a season, atime to be born and a time to die, enjoy the Winter!
via Facebook;"Ah yes, Kimo, "to everything there is a season" (Ecclesiastes).
The turning of the leaves in Autumn and the velvety white softness of a blanket of snow have their allure for a season (but eventually wear out their welcome in time for the r...ebirth that is Spring).
And in the tropics, there is but a single season, however it is known as "paradise," and represents heaven on earth.
Each holds its own beauty in its own time; it is up to us, in the better angels of our natures, to seek and enjoy that which is the beauty in each, and turn away that which we perceive, only in our own minds, to represent the element of diminution."
via facebook;"Amen, Kimo and Dave.
To everything its rightful season.
And to each of us, the spirit to discern it and appreciate it!"
