This Beautiful Season
(An Editorial)
Fall is a beautiful time of the
yepr. At this time everything
seems to change, either to add
color or to take it away. The
leaves turn from their dark green
to rust-gold, red, yellow, of
bronze. The grass loses its rich
green color and exchanges it for
a dull, light brown. The air takes
on a sharp chill. The wind sends
leaves fluttering over the yards.
It is a fascinating sight to watch
the patterns that the leaves make
as they dance and frolic about.
Hie late fall flowers take on a
brighter color. The roses at this
season are more beautiful than
in any other. They make a per
fect setting, nodding with the
cool breeie.
Fall brings to mind the gather
ing of nuts, the popping of pop
corn, and the roasting of apples.
All these things are done with
glee.
The little squirrels enjoy this
season, too. They are skipping
about, gathering nuts for the long
'winter months. There are mi yj
things fall brings to mind, \jt
they would fill a book. So, until
I become a great writer, let your
imagination help you out if you
i have never seen the beautiful
things that Nature has done.
