The day the rain came
It's been raining on and off all day. It seems like summer is really over now. I don't mind, I love autumn. During the summer I always feel pressured to be happy. Like I'm doing something wrong if I'm not smiling and laughing all the time. But when the leaves begin to change from green to red and orange and yellow and the mornings are thick with fog and the skies are grey and rain is hitting the window, then it's perfectly okay to stay inside and drink tea and read books and maybe even allow myself to feel a little bit sad for no particular reason.
