Colours Of Change

I was huddled up in my cubicle ,typing off with my mittened hands ,when my colleague said 'You look frozen,you don't like this cold,do you ?' and without waiting for a reply he added ,if you don't like the Minnesota weather ,wait for a while ,it will change.

That was last winter,it was my first winter complete with snow and ridiculous sub zero temperatures.

Around March the temperatures rose, snow melted ,grass grew,trees sprouted leaves,rivers and streams flowed ,there was pollen in the air ,more people on the streets and the golf season started.The white curtain ;behind which lay all these beautiful scnenes ,drew open and the Spring was here

Sun continued to shine and rising temperatures gave greener leaves,colorful flowers,lot of fruits and birds on trees.The streets got crowded.There was farmers markets ,street food ,jazz on the side streets ,Summer was here.Fishing ,Canoeing ,kayaking and camping season started and almost every car moved with a canoe or kayak trailing behind it.

Shortly afterwards, the temperature starts dropping ,it becomes a tad cooler and leaves changes colours .One by one each tree picks it colour ,turning it leaves into yellow ,red or orange.Giving itself an amazing make over.Farmers markets and street food vendors wind off , hunting, apple and berry picking seasons starts .

One strong wind here and another there takes of all the leaves from the trees and the winter takes over the beautiful Fall.

After a complete revolution ,I realized that, weather can do wonders to human spirit and senses.It is one thing to have a pleasant constant tropical weather,with no ups and downs ,but another to miss the changing weather and the beauty and unpredicatbilty that comes with it .

It is winter again and first snow brings in a beautiful white fur coat .The skiing ,snow boarding ,ice skating season starts and I plan on hibernating and waiting for a while ...
