Why are we excited at golden yellow?
Able to answer or not, we are now stepping into such a season. This morning saw my efforts to coin my first WeChat video about our golden autumn.

[Crescent Over Lotus Pond]

A glittering crescent moon shines
Over that pond where we wine
A hundred cicadas cry loudly
For the autumn melancholy
Dumb ducks swim quieter
Without seeing the lotus flower
That is proud and charming
But sorrows in the insipid evening
.
The gentle pond shakes ripples
That make the night rustle
But passersby always hustle
Ignoring all chances to nestle
The moon, full and waning,
Writes a sign of days passing
Our emotion, full and ebbing,
Will circle our warm dreaming
.
But, when talking about nature or the plants, we could think differently. Anyway, North follows roughly the traditional 24 seasonal marks, so called "solar terms", though we've talked about a lot and experienced a lot of the climate anomaly this year. And we are greeting the term of White Dew that marks tomorrow.
