Changing with the season

I've never understood why Jo'burgers deny that they have an autumn.  I've heard this for years, even as I watch leaves dry and collect on the curb, days shorten and shadows get longer.  Trust me, you've got it, and you've got it good.  Embrace it; fall is the most sentimental time of the year.  Early morning walks lately have been perfect: breezy and crisp, with golden sunlight filtering through departing overnight clouds.  It's sweater weather.  So, get out and enjoy it.  We've started the slow slide into winter and it will be here soon.  Go for a walk, go for a bike ride.  Catch a falling leaf and make a wish, hold someone's hand.  Just get out of your flat, get out of your car, get outside and enjoy fall in Jo'burg.  It's real.
