On a warm summer day

As soon as I step out of the car

The air filled with a thick cedar smell

Trees howling in the wind

Squalls chirping through out the woods

Before you know it the skeeters are feasting on your blood.


On a crisp fall day

As soon as I step out of the car

The freezing air feels like thousands of little needles

Once I adapt to the cold 

I take a big deep breath and the feeling of the cold thin air is so relaxing

The trees look out of a painting

red,orange,and yellow


I take one step inside the house

Flies are going crazy by the lights

The chilly damp air is thick

Lady bugs on the wall

But that is all fixed by a nice toasty fire in the wood burner.
