Winter - Aunt S

I'm starting to like winter now that I live in Paso Robles. For one thing, it is not hot, whereas the summers here are tend to be quite hot. Also, the trees change color in the fall, and the leaves are really pretty and brightly colored for a long time, and then lots of the trees are bare and I can see their outlines against the blue sky, and I know that in the spring the trees will turn green again and all my roses will bloom.

I enjoy wearing my cozy jacket when I walk to work. When it rains, I like to see the Salinas River flowing under the bridge I walk across.

In the winter of her life J.L. Autrey, age 89, is still painting. May we all do the same!
