The Great Chestnut Tree

Smells of fresh blossoming flowers wafted through the forest with the breeze and subtle warmth of spring.
The great chestnut tree had grown new foliage along with the budding pods of chestnuts among them. Whistles and nibble noises could be heard inside of the hollow in the great chestnut tree’s trunk and the scrabbles of tiny claws could be felt on the floor of the hollow.
Rustles were heard all over the forest, full of animals and insects enjoying the spring warmth after the cold, harsh days of winter.
A small grey and black rabbit poked its head out of the shelter of some brambles close to the chestnut tree and cautiously glanced around, it made a couple of little hops forward out of the brambles and looked back at where three smaller rabbits crouched with bright eyes.
Quickly the grey and black rabbit hopped around the great chestnut tree and disappeared into the safety of other bushes, the three littler rabbits stumbling after.
The days of spring brought warmer days in the sun and many more animals that played around near the great chestnut tree when it wasn’t raining.

Slowly but surely, the days started to get longer and warmer.
The sun was always bright and high in the sky and the days that rain came to the forest were scarcer than before. Humidity had also graced the forest along with the heat, and the days became rather uncomfortable.
The great chestnut tree’s chestnut pods weren’t just little buds anymore, but had grown to be spiky and round and the leaves of the tree weren’t as green and fresh as they were, but they filled the great chestnut tree to each inch of the branches.
When the sun made its path down the sky and the dark of night came across the sky, the crickets and cicadas chirps and buzzes, along with other sounds of creatures, made the forest like an orchestra.
It was cool in these summer nights, humidity cleared from the forest and a nice wind swept the lingering heat from the day away.

    So he raced from dogwood to blossoming peach. When they thinned out he headed for the cherry blossoms, then magnolia, chinaberry, pecan, walnut and prickly pear. At last he reached a field of apple trees whose flowers were just becoming tiny knots of fruit. Spring sauntered north, but he had to run like hell to keep it as his traveling companion. From February to July he was on the look out for blossoms. When he lost them, and found himself without so much as a petal to guide him, he paused, climbed a tree on a hillock and scanned the horizon for a flash of pink or white in the leaf world that surrounded him. He did…

    When we neared the orchard a flock of birds lit from its outer rows. They hadn’t been there long. The branches shook with their absent weight and the birds circled above in the ruddy mackerel sky, where they made an artless semaphore. I was afraid. I smelled copper and cheep wine. The sun was up, but a half-moon hung low on the opposite horizon, cutting through the morning sky like a figure from a child’s pull-tab book.…

    Flecks of sunlight would flutter through the branches, playing peekaboo before hiding again.

    A crisp winter morning and there was a frosty chill in the air. A sweet surrendering scent of the moist morning dew that cascades all around the sublime forest. The mixed cool autumn leaves from the tall trees lay scattered on the forest floor; they were in the motion of turning a brittle brown. There was the sound of shattered glass that emphasised the leaves being crunched, as if you were to step on them, pushing their papery remains deep into the brilliant white snow, which lined the ground like a fresh white cotton sheet. The passive and daunting forest has the appeal of a forgotten land, which has been lost in time. The isolated forest remained in a capsule, untouched by the destructive essence of man.…

    Perhaps the first notice of spring can be seen in the climate’s temperature rising. Signaling what is known by many as the “spring thaw”, winter’s blanket of snow begins melting as the temperature changes. Along with the rise in temperature the first signs of new life are visible in the budding of the trees and flowers beginning to bloom. Hibernating animals awaken from their winter slumber and start foraging for food and searching for mates. Along with the rise in temperatures, our daylight hours increase and farmers use this extra time to cultivate the land and prepare for the planting of the crops. This is the time of year when the sky opens up with showers and love can be seen blooming all around us.…

    In the autumn, some call it fall, it begins to cool off. The leaves on the trees begin to change color from green to the colors of fall (red, orange, yellow, and brown). Other plants may become inactive and “go to sleep”. Some animals prepare themselves for the colder weather by gathering food and traveling to warmer climates. This is a time of harvest and many cultures celebrate with feasts and celebration.…
