October…yes it could be a beautiful month because it is autumn. The trees are getting the warm colors that I love so much. The warmth of the last sunrays before winter sets in. Warm shades of red, orange, and yellow prevail. It makes me silent and emotional… during this time, I love being outside in the woods, one with nature, connected to Mother Earth in Slovenia, where I feel at home.
Late September, the weather was still wonderful. But we had planned to go to our first home country with our camper, to smell and remember the sea and smells also the fresh air. Indeed, it was a journey full of memories, to seen and embrace the family .. but also a journey filled with many emotions. We survived for 3 weeks in our camper, yes, we truly survived… because what I thought and did not hope for… happened anyway.
Rain had poured abundantly here, and the campground where we stayed turned into a muddy mess after these 3 weeks, causing much annoyance. There was little to see and feel of the warmth of the sun, few colors that could touch my heart.
Oh, how a person can long for, eagerly look forward to our second home country. Living amidst the most beautiful nature, the trees, the mountains.
Colors that bring the mountains to life every day as they tower with warmth, enjoying the last sunrays. Saying goodbye to my garden with its numerous flowers, and longing to return to it. Of course, we go along with the seasons, and going back will bring about change again. The flowers will have withered, and winter will slowly make its entrance. But secretly, with all my heart, I hope that next week, when we are home, I can still feel a ray of light, warmth, and love for the overwhelming colorful nature before winter begins. A little bit of color to warm my heart, the color of love for my second home country, Slovenia!
