Осень - это время ярких красок природы, деревья меняют свой окрас с зелёный на жёлтый и красный. По утрам на улице ощущается холодок, в воздухе стоит запах сырости. Это значит, что осень вступила в свои права. Вот улетают на юг с прощальным свистом перелетные птицы. В сёлах начинается уборка урожая, спелый виноград висит гроздьями в виноградниках. В раз я ездил в Москву. Осень это отличное время для ознакомления с другими городами, потому что на улице уже не жарко и ещё не холодно. Бывают дни, когда дождь идёт по три дня подряд, вот тогда уже наверняка теплая погода смениться холодной осенней серостью.

Осенью я стараюсь съездить в деревню к бабушке, оставаясь у неё на пару дней, к моему приезду она всегда печёт пироги и блины, собирает плоды с деревьев.
