FALL 2011

At first, 

when I was in the USA for just a few months

the thought of seasons bothered me.

It didn't feel right that at any given time, 

I couldn't wear a swimsuit and run to the beach.

Yes, that was at first. 

And now seven years have past 

changing everything as usual.

I love to make different plans for each season. 

I look forward to Thanksgiving.

I like how the sound of those who walk 

on the leaves laying on the sidewalk resonates by my window.

I have become a fan of butternut squash, 

gravy, pumpkin flan and I prefer anemones versus peonies.

Dont get me wrong. 

The beach will always be my first choice.

But there is something transitional to the seasons 

which allows you a new life.

A chance of creating experiences and craving hot toddies.

Something I didn't have before and 

now it can also be mine.

The jubilation of the fall.
