For the past few days I have been opening the facebook news feed and been bombarded with pumpkins and leaves and apples and all sorts of lovely Autumn things. And it upsets me because I do not have Autumn where I am. And so I give you my obligatory post in praise of autumn.
Τις τελευταίες μέρες όταν ανοίγω το Facebook έχω βομβαρδιστεί με κολοκύθες και φύλλα και μήλα και όλα τα όμορφα πράγματα του Φθινόπωρου.
Now this is all good and well, but I live in a coastal town. When I look out the window I have the beach to my left and the mountains to my right … And the worst is the trees here do not like to change color, they simply stay green and produce olives, lemons and oranges. Good for eating but not very good to put you in a Fall kind of mood.
Τώρα όλα αυτά είναι καλά, αλλά ζω σε μια παραλιακή πόλη. Όταν κοιτάζω έξω από το παράθυρο έχω την παραλία στα αριστερά μου και τα βουνά στα δεξιά μου … Και το χειρότερο είναι τα δέντρα εδώ δεν αλλάζουν χρώμα, απλά μένουν πράσινο και παράγουν ελιές, λεμόνια και πορτοκάλια. Καλό για φαγητό, αλλά για δεν είναι πολύ καλό για να μας βάλει σε Φθινοπωρινή διάθεση.
So you see that I have a problem. We do not do pumpkins here in Greece, we do Elections and lots of Drama! (For anyone who does not get that, we are having our third election in as many years.) Now back to my dilemma. What do I show you for my official Fall post? And why is this important – why because I am a Fall lover!
Έτσι μπορείτε να δείτε ότι έχω ένα πρόβλημα. Εμείς δεν κάνουμε κολοκύθες εδώ στην Ελλάδα, κάνουμε εκλογές! (Για όποιον δεν καταλαβαίνει, θα έχουμε τρίτη φορά εκλογές φέτος.) Τώρα πίσω στο δίλημμά μου. Τι μπορώ να σας δείξω επίσημα για το Φθινόπωρο; Και γιατί είναι σημαντικό – επειδή είμαι λάτρης του Φθινόπωρου!
And then while looking over Pretty Practical Home’s post it hit me. I may not have Fall at my feet, but I did last year.
Και ενώ κοιτούσα το Pretty Practical Home
με χτύπησε. Μπορεί να μην έχω το Φθινόπωρο στα πόδια μου, αλλά το είχα πέρυσι.
You see last year this time I was in New York, the home of the red and yellow leaves. This is where I grew up. This is home and I had gone to visit my sons. And I took a ton of pictures of … you guessed it… the leaves.
Βλέπετε πέρυσι αυτό το καιρό ήμουν στη Νέα Υόρκη, το μέρος με τα κόκκινα και κίτρινα φύλλα. Εκεί μεγάλωσα. Είχα πάει να επισκεφθώ τους γιους μου. Και πήρα ένα σωρό φωτογραφιες με … ναι, το μαντέψετε …τα φύλλα.

I should point out that the color in these photos was not altered, they represent nature. This is why I love the Autumn. I would have exploded if I could not have done a tribute to my favorite season! And so ends my obligatory post in praise of Autumn.

Θα ήθελα να επισημάνω ότι το χρώμα σε αυτές τις φωτογραφίες δεν αλλοιώθηκε, αντιπροσωπεύουν τη φύση. Αυτός είναι ο λόγος που μου αρέσει το φθινόπωρο. Θα είχα εκραγεί αν δεν μπορούσα να κάνω ένα αφιέρωμα στην αγαπημένη μου εποχή!

Mary, this is such a beautiful post! I understand you completely, we don't have trees changing colors either, ours stay green and produce almonds, oranges, and lemons... but you managed to get a fantastic fall mood. My oldest daughter is here with me and she says she loves the pictures of the park with all those colors, and so do I Hugs, Pili
