Last night as I sat on the sofa quietly enjoying the tranquil of our home (kids just went to bed), I noticed the shedding of the trees right outside the huge windows that covers almost half of the living room. The trees serve as curtains that covers our floor to ceiling wide glass windows, especially during summer time when the sun shines so bright. The lamp post that is situated between the lush leaves is like a lighting effect of something that looks like a background in the movie. There is a melodramatic feeling watching the leaves being blown slowly away from the tree with the light in the background creating shadows with each leaf. There’s a certain chill in the air that suggests winter is coming. Reminding me to pack up summer clothings, open toe heels to say hello to boots and goodbye to well pedicured toes. I will have to rummage through my old winter clothes to find things that will still fit my ever growing belly otherwise I will be included in the winter shopping list this time J . Isn’t it nice to be always young, that stage where your body goes through so much changes that give you a reason to change wardrobe almost every season if the budget allows. Either way, your parents will have to provide these needs not just for vanities sake. Well, now I realize why my mother have to buy us one size bigger to cover up for at least few seasons…wise move!
The chilly air also reminds me that Christmas is just around the corner and with my hyperactive toddler roaming around, it will not be wise to put up a real tree this time or else it will be like autumn everyday at home (falling leaves due to his constant picking).
