Autumn and De-cluttering
This year, autumn has been spectacular! The harsh summer has given way to a extended autumn this year and the colour changes to scarlet, yellow, gold, orange have been the most vivid I have seen thus far. I came across this quote from Gretchen Rubin 's blog, whose newsletters I subscribe to and have read her books. "Oh! Old rubbish! Old letters, old clothes, old objects that one does not want to throw away. How well nature has understood that, every year, she must change her leaves, her flowers, her fruit and her vegetables, and make manure out of the mementos of her year!" – The Journal of Jules Renard This quote fits in so neatly with the current themes of my life - autumn leaves wherever I walk and themes of decluttering/minimalism that are running through me (Marie Kondo books, Mimimalist sites etc).
