Autumn arrives in early morning, but spring at the close of a winter day. Elizabeth Bowen
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. Albert Camus
Now Autumn’s fire burns slowly along the woods and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt. William Allingham
There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen, as if it could not be, as if it had not been! Percy Bysshe Shelley
One of the reasons I like ‘Arlo And Janis’ is because in many ways I can relate to Arlo. I always bore my wife with trivia such as this, particularly historical bits of pretty useless info…and she tolerates it well…kinda like Janis. At least I know there are other guys with my ‘problem.’
1st Jan as New Year goes back to Roman times, but England celebrated it on 25 March until 1750s.1st Jan is the perihelion, where Earth is closest to the Sun – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perihelion_and_aphelion
Looking forward to my annual trip to the Smoky Mountains the colors look like crayons melted to the side of the mountain a sight you have to stop and actually look at you can’t catch it driving by
Arlo is right! New Year’s eve depends more on culture, in which the end of one year and the beginning of the next are determined by convention. For my part, April 30 could easily be last day of the year, and March 1 new year’s day!
According to my brides birth certificate, she was born on September 22. (she wouldn’t want me to note the year) Her biological mother told her she was born at 10 pm in Michigan, so this is about as close as she will get to being born at the time fall starts. Just sayin’.

to experience the seasons is to experience life, yes in the winter the deep dark winter when you are freezing you butt off you are experiencing death

I am a firm believer one needs seasons to maintain balance. Spring has more meaning if you’ve passed through winter.

I am liking these characters more and more. I just wish Janis wasn’t so angry at Arlo when he wants some amorous adventure.
