AUTUMN OR FALL ?

Does anybody know the difference between autumn and fall ? The only difference I personally see is that in autumn everything falls ! The leaves and even we fall back one hour. Maybe that's good for the farmers because the cows get milked an hour earlier, but for us office people, we come home when it is dark. Not very enjoyable.



Lots of people find the autumn colors wonderful. That's true, if only they would stay the whole year and not fall on the street or in the gardens en masse ! The streets are slippery and the statistics say that most of the car accidents are caused in fall, when the leaves fall



Hospitals have to deal with some broken legs thanks to falling fall leaves.



The beauty doesn't last long and then only ugly brown leaves remain on the street and the trees are all naked besides the firs and some others.



In our aqua gym garden there were so many leaves that a machine had to be hired. (Therefore the price of the season card increased, and didn't fall !)




The city too does a good business, because all these leaves have to be collected and put in special paper bags.





These paper bags of course are only sold by the city !

I think by now you have understood that autumn/fall is not my favorite season !
