What does autumn mean to me?

Autumn to me, like the variety of colors in the changing trees, is a plethora of emotions. My birthday is in October, last time I checked, it was pretty fun. But also it means the end of warm weather, and less time outside, darker evenings, darker mornings, and crisp, biting air. Less time that I can ride my bike, more time I have to stay inside and "occupy myself" with chores usually. Although I don't really like it as much as summer, I suppose autumn is necessary; without change all we do is stay the same. In one word, autumn is refreshing. It's the beginning of the end so to speak, but that's ok. With autumn, there is a variety of weather and of emotions, and I suppose that just appeals to me.
