Living in the depths of Florida for quite awhile I always felt strange not having the natural transition of the seasons and the way of living and the activities associated with each one. It was almost like time stood still without the markings of each special season. (Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the warm weather and sunshine.) Some laughed at my home because it was like perpetual fall inside. I think subconsciously I decorated my home to fill the void of fall in my life. Warm cozy colors of burgundy, orange, brown and dark green. Now I think I have a desire to decorate our next living space with bright, airy colors, probably to combat the many dreary days of winter and many other rainy days that come with living in the northeast. For now I enjoy the fall and my daughter giggling while playing in the leaves for the first time!
"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns." - George Eliot
