Late autumn is a sad and sad time. Most are in a bad mood when it comes. I really want sunshine and at least a little warmth. It's raining outside and the weather is cold. Nature is already ready for the coming of winter. The birdsong has died down, you can only hear the sound of raindrops hitting the windowsill and the rumble of thunder. All the songbirds have long since flown south, and the rest are getting their own food.
But even at this time you can see special beauty. The earth is covered with a yellow-red carpet, which can only be seen at this time of year. It is interesting to observe the life of the animal world. Many animals use this carpet as shelter. The fox can hide under the foliage and carefully watch the hare. You can notice how the foliage moves and rustles as the fox slowly but rapidly moves after a new victim. It’s good when the bunny manages to react to a suspicious rustle and run away.
There is a freshness in the air, it rains every day. The sky is crying inconsolably. First in small drops, and then in continuous rain. At such a moment you don’t want to be outside at all. There is an immediate risk of getting wet through and then getting sick. In this weather, you want to sit at home with a book and a cup of tea in your hands. What nasty weather it is outside, there is slush and dirt all around. Besides this, it is also cold. The cold penetrates to the skin. I want to get to the nearest room as quickly as possible to warm up.
The trees stand bare, except that on some branches the last leaf is barely hanging on. It will come off when a light breeze blows. It gets dark early, daylight hours decrease more and more every day. At the end of autumn, the first snow slowly falls, and there is light frost at night. But by morning the temperature rises and everything melts, turning into disgusting slush. Dirt sticks to shoes, you can notice that almost all people are unhappy and grumpy. Everyone is waiting for the paths to be covered with snow.
Each season is special in its own way. Few people like autumn. This is a time of longing and sadness. Everyone is waiting for winter to come quickly and cover the earth with a blanket of snow. Autumn is a rainy and sad time. Everything falls asleep and prepares to greet winter.
I. Sokolov-Mikitov “Autumn”
The chirping swallows have long since flown south, and even earlier, as if on cue, the swift swifts disappeared. On autumn days, the children heard the passing cranes crowing in the sky as they said goodbye to their dear homeland. They looked after them for a long time with some special feeling, as if the cranes were taking summer with them. Quietly talking, the geese flew to the warm south...
People are preparing for a cold winter. The rye and wheat were mowed long ago. We prepared feed for the livestock. The last apples are being picked from the orchards. They dug up potatoes, beets, and carrots and put them away for the winter.
The animals are also preparing for winter. The nimble squirrel accumulated nuts in the hollow and dried selected mushrooms. Little voles brought grains into the holes and prepared fragrant soft hay. In late autumn, a hardworking hedgehog builds its winter lair. He dragged a whole heap of dry leaves under an old stump. You will sleep peacefully all winter under a warm blanket.
The autumn sun warms less and less often, more and more sparingly. Soon, soon the first frosts will begin. Mother Earth will freeze until spring. Everyone took from her everything she could give.

A story about autumn
Autumn is an amazing time of year. This is a time of change. Nature, like a bear, is preparing for hibernation. The beginning of autumn always makes people happy. Summer does not want to give way and there are still many warm and fine days. This period is popularly called “Indian summer”. At this time, I can’t even believe that September has come and summer has come to an end.
Every day the sun sets earlier and earlier, and the leaves turn different colors. Then the “golden autumn” begins. Autumn got its name because the leaves turn yellow, a color reminiscent of gold. The leaves begin to fall and everything on the street turns yellow - both in the village and on the ground. This surrounding picture has always inspired poets, writers and artists. It was this time of year that Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy and others loved to write about.
Autumn has different signs, holidays and characteristics, which we will discuss in more detail below.
History of the name "Indian Summer"
In the old days, it was believed that a witch lives inside every woman and she can, with the power of thought alone, disperse the clouds and bring back absolutely any season. According to another opinion, during the “Indian summer” only young people collected the entire harvest, and older women could relax and bask in the warm autumn sun. The tempera of this period was characterized as "a woman in a period of decline"
In the old days, “Indian summer” began on September 14th. Now there is no clear date because the weather has changed and the rituals are no longer the same. During the Indian summer, harvest time ended and everyone could rest a little before winter. In winter, other chores began - household chores. Women began to spin, embroider, and also make clothes. But that is another story…
Folk signs about autumn

Birch leaves will begin to turn yellow from the top - early spring, from the bottom - late spring. 5. Lots of rowan in rainy autumn. 6. Mosquitoes in late autumn - warm winter. 7. Lots of nuts, but no mushrooms - winter is snowy and harsh. 8. Late leaf fall means a harsh and long winter. 9. Lots of acorns - severe winter. 10. Bloom rose hips, peas and dandelions in the fall - for a long and very warm autumn.
Sayings about autumn
Since ancient times, it has been the custom to compose short, weighty expressions that carry deep meaning - sayings. Sayings were invented for different occasions (holidays, sorrows, funny, etc.), as well as for different seasons.
Autumn is no exception. And now I’ll tell you what sayings about autumn I know. In autumn there are seven weather conditions outside. Autumn will not return to summer. A leaf fell from a tree - wait for autumn. The autumn rain is fine and long. In autumn the birdlife is also rich. Autumn is stocky, winter is stocked up.
Autumn holidays
In our country there are 5 periods of autumn. These periods are called different natural manifestations. And I will tell you about them now. The first period is the beginning of autumn. Nature has not yet realized that summer is over. There are still many warm days. This period lasts from September 1 to September 13. Then the period of golden autumn begins. This period is very beautiful. Everything around turns yellow and acquires a golden color because of this and its name. This period starts from September 24 to October 14. Then the rainy period begins, which is called deep autumn. It lasts from October 15 to 22. Then the pre-earth begins. During this period it may rain and snow. Foreland starts from October 23rd to November 26th. Then the first winter begins. At this time the first winter begins. The first winter begins on November 27 and lasts until November 30.

G. Skrebitsky “Four Artists. Autumn"
For her work, the Autumn Artist took the brightest colors and first of all went into the forest with them. There she began to work on her painting. She covered the birches and maples with lemon yellow. And the aspen leaves turned red like ripe apples. The aspen tree became all bright red, all burning like fire.
Autumn wandered into a forest clearing. A hundred-year-old oak tree stands in the middle of a clearing, standing and shaking its thick leaves. Autumn thinks: “We need to dress the hero in bloody copper armor.” This is how I dressed the old man. He looks - and not far away, at the very edge of the clearing, thick, spreading linden trees have gathered in a circle, their branches lowered down. A heavy headdress made of gold brocade is most suitable for them.
Autumn decorated all the trees and even the bushes in its own way, in an autumnal way: some dressed in yellow, others in bright red. She only didn’t know how to decorate the pine and spruce trees. After all, they don’t have leaves on their branches, but needles, and you can’t paint them. Let them remain the same as they were in the summer. So the pines and spruce trees remained dark green in summer. And this made the forest even brighter, even more elegant in its colorful autumn attire.
Autumn went from the forest to the fields, to the meadows, removed the golden grain from the fields, and in the meadows swept the fragrant haystacks into stacks high, like towers. The fields and meadows became empty, even wider and more spacious. And schools of migratory birds stretched above them in the autumn sky: cranes, geese, ducks...
Forest in autumn
I. Sokolov-Mikitov
The Russian forest is beautiful and sad in the early autumn days. Bright spots of red-yellow maples and aspens stand out against the golden background of yellowed foliage. Slowly circling in the air, light, weightless yellow leaves fall and fall from the birches. Thin silver threads of light cobwebs stretched from tree to tree. Late autumn flowers are still blooming.
The air is transparent and clean. The water in forest ditches and streams is clear. Every pebble at the bottom is visible.
Quiet in the autumn forest. Only fallen leaves rustle underfoot. Sometimes a hazel grouse whistles subtly. And this makes the silence even more audible.
It's easy to breathe in the autumn forest. And I don’t want to leave it for a long time. It’s good in the autumn flowery forest... But something sad, farewell is heard and seen in it.
N. Sladkov “Autumn is on the threshold”
- Forest dwellers! - the wise Raven shouted one morning. — Autumn is at the threshold of the forest, is everyone ready for its arrival? Like an echo, voices came from the forest: “Ready, ready, ready...” “But we’ll check now!” - Raven croaked. - First of all, autumn will let the cold into the forest - what will you do? The animals responded: “We, squirrels, hares, foxes, will change into winter coats!” - We, badgers, raccoons, will hide in warm holes! - We, hedgehogs, bats, will fall into a deep sleep! The birds responded: “We, migratory birds, will fly away to warmer lands!” - We, settled ones, will put on down padded jackets! “Secondly,” the Raven shouts, “autumn will begin to rip off the leaves from the trees!” - Let him rip it off! - the birds responded. - The berries will be more visible! - Let him rip it off! - the animals responded. - It will be quieter in the forest! “The third thing,” the Raven continues, “autumn will click the last insects with frost!” The birds responded: “And we, blackbirds, will fall on the rowan tree!” - And we, woodpeckers, will begin to peel the cones! - And we, goldfinches, will get to the weeds! The animals responded: “And we will sleep more peacefully without mosquito flies!” “The fourth thing,” the Raven buzzes, “autumn will become boring!” He will catch up with dark clouds, let down tedious rains, and incite dreary winds. The day will be shortened, the sun will be hidden in your bosom! - Let him pester himself! - the birds and animals responded in unison. - You won’t keep us bored! What do we care about rain and winds when we are wearing fur coats and down jackets! Let's be well-fed - we won't get bored! The wise Raven wanted to ask something else, but he waved his wing and took off. He flies, and beneath him is a forest, multi-colored, motley - autumn. Autumn has already crossed the threshold. But it didn’t scare anyone at all.
Mikhail Prishvin “Late Autumn”
Autumn lasts like a narrow path with sharp turns. First frost, then rain, and suddenly snow, like in winter, a white blizzard with a howl, and again the sun, again warm and green. In the distance, at the very end, a birch tree stands with golden leaves: it remained frozen as it was, and the wind can no longer tear off the last leaves from it - everything that was possible was torn off.
The very end of autumn is when the rowan shrivels from frost and becomes, as they say, “sweet.” At this time, the latest autumn comes so close to the earliest spring that you can only recognize the difference between an autumn day and a spring day - in the fall you think: “I’ll survive this winter and rejoice in another spring.”
Then you think that everything in life must be like this: you have to exhaust yourself, work hard, and after that you can enjoy something. I remembered the fable “The Dragonfly and the Ant” and the ant’s stern speech: “You kept singing - that’s the point, so come and dance.” And in early spring, on exactly the same day, you expect joy without any merit; spring will come, you will come to life in it and fly like a dragonfly, without thinking about the ant at all.
