The color of springtime is in the flowers; the color of winter is in the imagination.

The quiet of October is refreshing. The quiet of November, oppressing.

October—the true heart of autumn—the perfect blend of daydream and reality, with amazing weather, a beautiful quiet, and soul-calming breezes which lead the way to the comforting slow-down of the year.

I drifted into a summer nap under the hot shade of July, serenaded by a cicada lullaby to drowsy warm dreams of distant thunder.

Autumn mornings―sunshine and crisp air, birds and calmness, year’s end and day’s beginnings.

February is the border between winter and spring.
Photo: Georg Satzinger. Meaning ❄️↔️🌱: Key message: February is seen as a transitional month: wintery features are still present (cold, night frost) while the first signs of spring (longer days, flower bulbs) appear. 🌤️ “Border” emphasises the changeable nature: thaw and frost, wet and cold are intertwined. Origin: A modern, English-language aphorism.📚 The phrase circulates widely online and in calendars/quote collections; it does not appear in classic collections of Low Countries weather proverbs. Author: Most common: attributed to Terri Guillemets (American aphorist and compiler of The Quote Garden). ✍️ Original English form: “February is the border between winter and spring.” Probably modern in origin; the earliest reliable online source is The Quote Garden (archive copies from the 2000s). The exact first year/edition is difficult to confirm without archival research. Note: Guillemets publishes both her own aphorisms and curated quotations; in this case, it is generally considered her own statement, but formal first publication data is often lacking in secondary sources. Contextual note: Meteorologically, winter runs from December 1–February 28/29; astronomically, winter lasts until around March 20/21. This explains why February can feel both wintry and spring-like. 🗓️: Citation tip: When citing it, use, for example: “February is the border between winter and spring.” — Terri Guillemets, The Quote Garden (2000s; exact date unknown).
