Ugly?

Dear Nature Journal,

During a rake leafing service project through my church I heard someone say that late Fall is really ugly. What! Her reasoning was that the trees are bare and things are grey and gloomy without snow. I have to beg to differ since grey rainy days are beautiful to me. I think they remind me of "Wuthering Heights" or "Jane Eyre". I also find that when it's grey and dreary the bits of colors and life stand out so much more. Today is was a bit cold (which is worlds better than being a bit too hot) but still comfortable. I was able to get away with wearing my very old black clogs, and my new long plaid skirt. I always feel good in this outfit. I'm sure you would have on to if you could wear clothes journal. Once when I was criticizing a woman's dress my mother said "Maybe that's her favorite dress and it makes her feel pretty." This simple experience has partially changed how I look at people and their houses or clothes. I certainly have things that I like that are unique to me, e.x. rainy dreary days. I'm praying for help with my criticising problem.

Until Tomorrow,

Amelia
