The long hot days of summer will end. There is not much sun during the day and the nights will not
be warm. The days get shorter and the air will return cooler.
The flowers will not bloom and the leaves will not produce enough chlorophyll to keep them green.
Then the other colors on the leaves will begin to show. The leaves will turn yellow, orange, red and
purple and then they will fall from the trees.
the autumn season will arrive. It lasts three months, but people will not stay at home. On weekends
they usually go for walks in the parks. Children like to be outdoors and will play soccer and other
games. They know that winter will be on its way, so they will not be missing out on this wonderful
time of year: fall. – Autumn
