It happens every year. Holiday cards start pouring in Dec 1st. It marks the beginning of a new season! The fall decor is put away from Thanksgiving and little nativities and snowmen grace our homes. And it really is thrilling isn’t it? To open each envelope to see how our far-away friends have changed since last year. Photo cards have become a standard now and it’s what we’ve grown to expect.
So what happens when we view our friend’s holiday cards and see those oh so beautiful fall colors that we just packed away? I totally understand wanting family photos in the short window of fall color. If we’re lucky enough to have caught the season right, Nebraska has gorgeous orange, red, and yellow leaves to enjoy. But by Dec 1st, to be honest, I’m so over it! I want to envision the season for what it now is…… crisp and preparing for Winter.
Something special happens in Nebraska after the leaves fall. We can start to see our breaths… we play in the leaves that have now fallen and turned brown. The quiet that comes after vibrant colors of October have vanished is something to savor. Neutral colors… soothing. Preparing for the next season. Why not try something different this year? (and I’m not just speaking to the busy and the procrastinators out there ; )
Break the mold. Enjoy the short window of fall on a dog walk and save the family photos for November.
