I awoke last night and had to close the patio door, as it was cool and rainy, just like it's supposed to be for the next few days. It's not yet autumn here, the leaves haven't really turned colors yet. In Japanese, autumn leaves are called "紅葉", kouyou; lit. "red leaves". There are many fall-related words in Japanese, such as:
秋気-shouki-the fall air
小夜時雨-sayoushigure-a light shower on a late fall night.
秋風 -akikaze-fall breeze.
秋日和-akibiyori-clear fall day
Autumn is my favorite season. I haven't lived anywhere that I didn't like it's autumn.
