Mid-Autumn Festival

Leaves plunge from their high-treetop abode: red, orange, and brown is illuminated by the steadily declining sun, waiting to hide from winter’s upcoming torment. The aromatic scent of pumpkin and apple cider push their way to the forefront of your nose, and cozy themselves like if they were next to a warm fireplace. The boisterous sound of your father yelling, “go Eagles” at the television fills your eardrums. Ah, fall is upon us. There’s nothing that is quite comparable to fall: winter, summer,…

It’s my first day as an intern at the news, and my excitement is killing me. The successful weather forecaster, Henry Smith, gets his predictions from the seasons themselves. The seasons will discuss who will get to reign Oklahoma for the day. The unruly seasons are known to behave for the most part in the other states, but Oklahoma is one of the areas where their territories overlap. Today, Henry is standing in the middle of the news station. He is surrounded by shiny equipment and metal…

I’ve always loved fall, but I hardly ever stop and appreciate how lovely the weather is, or how beautiful the leaves are. I never sit outside and look at the sky, laying out and taking in the seventy degree weather. I realized this last year, and so I went on a trip with a friend to a place north of my small town. A place where there was an abundance of shedding trees, and small creeks, and walking trails. About one year ago, I was invited to go on a trip with one of my best friends. SHe…

Introduction: Trois-Rivieres is a small Quebecois city located on the St. Lawrence river in between Montreal and Quebec City. The name Trois-Rivieres means “Three Rivers” and this is because within the city there are two small islands which create three rivers leading to the St. Lawrence. I think this is the best place to live in Canada regarding the favorable climate, proportional population, breathtaking views, job opportunities and very affordable housing. Climate: Trois-Rivieres has an…

It was always the eyes that got me. I could walk in that forest forever, getting lost in millions of shades of green and tree bark brown, with raging fireflies floating around, lighting up every corner. A forest of fireflies. The eyes, the twin moles on his cheek, the soft brown hair which he likes to keep short even though he’s adorable when it’s long, the straight, large nose; all so common to others, but more important than anything in the world to me. It’s weird how realities can change so…

boulder crash through the hive front door, The Changeling quickly getting out of the way before it crushed them, Queen Chrysalis looked at the three fillies that came through the hole. “Well I was hoping for a more quieter break in,” Winter said, Autumn moved a few steps away from the Earth pony. “Who are you three?” Chrysalis question “That doesn’t matter!” Summer cried out, “What does matter is changing the shape of your base. It is really distracting!” “Changelings destroy them!”…

Here is a closer examination of each stage. Summer is when mother nature is in full swing. Plants and wildlife thrive because of the moderate climates and semi-regular precipitation that keep…
