Autumn- a thoughtful time when the plant world slows down the growth rate, all nature is tired, and begins a long preparation for winter sleep. The birds stop singing and gather more and more in flocks to leave their native lands for a while in search of warmth, and the trees are covered with gilding and begin to shed their leaves. This is how the leaf fall begins, the autumn time, which is called golden autumn. Here are the colors of autumn, pastel, calm, like nature itself at this time of the year. Yellow, golden, as if in the sun, falling leaves of color and quiet brown prevail. And closer to November, when the weather frowns more and more, gray tones appear. Nature is getting closer and closer to the cold, winds and froze in anticipation of snow.
The colors of autumn are rich and colorful, a combination of the deepest colors. The colors during this period are muted and thoughtful, like nature itself in autumn, colorful and soft, close to the romantic mood of walking through the autumn forest.

The autumn months are the best for forecasts for the upcoming winter period. They quite accurately determine what autumn and winter will be like, how much snowfall will fall, and when to expect the most crackling frosty days.

September

But at the same time, the first drizzling rains begin, thick fogs fall on the fields in the mornings, the air becomes cooler, the sky is covered with clouds, which is why they called the month "frown", "rain bell".

People have long learned to decipher these signals:

The main concern of people at all times concerned the harvest. A person at the level of genetic memory knows what hunger is, therefore, he looks for signs, signs of the future harvest and, above all, bread in natural phenomena. This is the key to a satisfying year and a prosperous life.

Autumn harvest signs:

Autumn is a wonderful, beautiful and exciting time. Golden leaf fall, turning into a soft fluffy carpet underfoot, evokes thoughts of folk beliefs, secrets, riddles and all sorts of signs.

What are the most reliable signs of autumn?

A lot of information can be learned from the falling leaves and from the trees and shrubs themselves.

• Belated leaf fall portends a heavy, hungry and cold winter;
• If the leaves fall from the trees early (especially oak and birch leaves), then the year promises to be rich in harvest and soil fertility;
• Most of the fallen leaves lie face up - the crop will be small; purl - large;
• If during the period of leaf fall you are greeted with a jug of milk, then you are considered an honored guest, if with a plate of honey, then you were not expected in this house;
• On a birch, the leaves begin to turn yellow from below - spring is expected to be late; if the top turned yellow first, then it is early;
• All the leaves flew around quickly - a harsh, blizzard winter is approaching;
• The leaves are in no hurry to fall off and turn yellow slowly and gradually - no severe frosts are expected, and the winter will pass quickly.

Autumn signs can be read in anything. Not only golden leaf fall can open the veil of the future, but also severe thunder, lightning, and other weather conditions. Animals and birds too can tell signs of autumn and tell the person what awaits him in the future.

Waiting for the cold long winter squirrels make a particularly large supply of nuts.

Migratory birds, flying south immediately rise up - it means that the winter will be snowy, and if they fly low above the ground, then there will be little snow.

About what the winter will be, the shot in the fall can tell hare. If there is a lot of fat under his skin, then he lived in anticipation of a harsh winter.

See a quiet flight in the sky cranes who seem to communicate with each other, you can expect a warm good autumn.

Moles in autumn they pull a lot of straw into the holes - they are preparing for a harsh winter.

During the harvesting of flax, there are many mouse nests - in winter there will be many snowdrifts.

chickens molt at the very beginning of autumn - winter is expected to be warm.

Folk omens about autumn are difficult to count, they are so diverse that you can just get confused when understanding them. The mysteries of nature at first glance are very confusing, but if you carefully understand them, you can find out about everything that awaits us in the future.

Signs of inanimate nature

Autumn signs can be read by changes in inanimate nature. The strength and direction of the autumn wind, dispersing the golden leaf fall, the amount of precipitation, the condition of the clouds - all this forms the basis of folk signs. If you look closely at the surrounding objects and phenomena, you can know a lot and solve the mysteries of nature.

• Rowan gave a good harvest - expect fierce frosts;
• When the starlings are in no hurry to fly away, and the hares are in no hurry to change their gray coat to white, you should be prepared for a long, windy and rainy autumn;
• When mushroom pickers go with empty baskets in autumn, the winter is expected to be severe;
• During the Indian summer, cobwebs hang everywhere - a warm autumn and a rainy winter are expected;
• A low flight of birds on an autumn day portends a cold winter, a high one - warm;
• If spiders cobweb plants, it will soon become warm.

If you read the autumn signs and proverbs very carefully, you can identify a simple pattern: everything in nature goes on as usual, and each new event portends the next one. If we talk about proverbs, then they, just like signs, reveal to us the mysteries of the world around us. They clearly and easily characterize natural phenomena, linking them with certain events. A lot of signs affect thunder and lightning, and this is easily explained. After all, it is thunder that frightens people, it is lightning that frightens and takes life. If you predict the appearance of thunder in time, you can avoid trouble. Of course stormy weather, which appeared at the wrong time, can also bring some kind of sign with it.

• If in September thunder broke out in the sky, then autumn is expected to be warm;
• When thunder rumbles in October, there will be almost no snow in winter.
• Autumn weather is unpredictable, but it can also be predicted by knowing the old signs. Each of them hides a secret and a clue wanders next to it.
• When the dogwood gives a big harvest, you can meet a harsh winter;
• Rowan from gravity tends branches to the ground - rainy autumn predicts;
• Mosquitoes will not calm down in any way even at the end of autumn - which means you can not be afraid of big cold weather, they will pass by;
• Frost in autumn portends good weather;
• Rare clouds in the autumn sky - to the heat.
• The autumn sunset is golden - portends good weather the next day;
• The moon in the sky, pale and vague, predicts rain; clear and bright - the wind promises;
• If you see how the geese flew, then winter will begin very soon;
• If the first snow fell during the day, it will soon melt; if at night, it will lie for a long time;
• Snow fell in early autumn - spring will also come early.

There are a lot of autumn signs and they all have their similarities and differences. Sometimes, the same phenomenon of nature can be explained in different ways. Some people noticed an event of interest to them, others did not pay attention to it, but they saw something else. Folk omens have been collected for thousands of years, from time immemorial. But, oddly enough, these days they have not lost their relevance and are becoming more and more in demand and popular.

All seasons are good in their own way, but the bright and varied colors and mystery are inherent only in autumn. Autumn has its own unusual smell, and early twilight evokes a romantic mood. All sorts of autumn signs are another remarkable property of an amazing time.

Also, according to folk autumn signs, it was possible to judge the upcoming winter.

September, October and November are traditionally considered autumn months, but according to the folk calendar, the “autumn equinox”, which falls on September 22 or 23, is taken as the beginning of autumn. But our ancestors-farmers believed that autumn comes much earlier. Already among the people they recognized it as a pre-autumn holiday - the day of the turning point of summer and the turn to autumn. In the middle and northern strip of Russia, summer hayfields were ending by this day, horses were no longer bathed in rivers and lakes.

August 7th was celebrated. This saint is considered the herald of the first autumn cold. It was noticed that from the day of her veneration, cold matinees begin (that is, morning frosts). From August, the air and water begin to get colder.

On the First Spas () they saw off the summer. The bee ceases to wear honey knitting, and in the northern regions the swallows are preparing to fly away. According to popular belief, swallows fly away three times on three Spas (August 14, 19 and 29).

Autumn almost everywhere comes into its own. On this day, the people celebrated Ivan the Lenten, who was also called "the godfather of autumn."

From Ivan the Lenten, a man meets autumn, and a woman sees off summer.

Almost always in the second and third weeks of September there are clear and warm autumn days, which are also called Indian summer. By the end of September, real autumn usually sets in. The weather is cold and changeable, with frequent rain and cold September winds. Winds usually reach a special strength and sharpness around the days of the autumn equinox. Then they are also called "equinoctial storms."

There are sayings about changeable autumn weather among the people:

In the autumn bad weather, there are seven weathers in the yard: it sows, it blows, it twists, it stirs, it tears, it pours from above and sweeps from below.

The wind becomes cold in autumn and blows from the north or northwest side:

Winds rushed from the north, oh yes, father, September.

The north wind will pull - a fur coat with a caftan will be pulled into one place.

Although it is cold in September, but there is plenty of everything:

September is cold, but full.

No wonder they said that at this time the peasant was full of pockets and barns.

September drove the working people into huts. The field work was coming to an end, the garden was cleaned, you can sit at home with your shoes off, and that’s why they said: “ Count the woman autumn from September - on hats and on bast shoes».

The second autumn month of October was popularly called differently: leaf fall, chest, jelly, semi-winter, etc. The weather in October is even more changeable than in September. It happens that snow falls, and sometimes the toboggan path is established for a while, and then it melts again and again there is dirt on the roads.

October is dirty: neither the wheel nor the snake likes.

In October, neither on wheels nor on sledges.

Know autumn in October through mud.

According to popular beliefs, if the roads are full of mud, then in four weeks a real winter will set in.

After October comes November - the month of peasant feasts and weddings. There were especially many weddings on the day), and all because:

It is good to accept an honest crown for the autumn Kazan.

Whoever marries Kazanskaya will be happy.

But at that time they tried not to travel long distances, because “ you will leave on wheels, and you will arrive on skids» (i.e. on a sleigh). If it was necessary to go on business, then the skids were put in the cart.

After Kazan, the Orthodox people did not forget to celebrate the "Dmitrov Memorial" Saturday. On this day, the deceased parents and grandfathers were remembered. It was noted that if there is a thaw during the Dmitrov week, then the whole winter will be with thaws. In November, a toboggan run is often established, but in most cases it is unstable. The thaws around often drive away the snow and destroy this early toboggan run.

autumn signs

Throughout the autumn, people observe various natural phenomena that characterize the onset of winter, and the struggle of summer heat with winter cold, and, using a variety of signs, they try to predict the future. The main signs that people pay attention to are the fall of leaves from trees, the departure of birds to warm lands, the behavior of animals preparing for winter, snowfall, the appearance of hoarfrost and fog, freezing of rivers. We paid special attention to the weather:

1. Warm autumn - to a long winter.
2. Rainy autumn promises a rainy spring.
3. Autumn cold without snow - to blackness (dry and black earth).
4. If from autumn the earth and winter crops freeze well, then even without snow, bread will be harvested. If in autumn it is warm and damp, then the root of winter will support and do not wait for the harvest.

Autumn signs of leaf fall

Our ancestors carefully watched the fall of the leaves in order to predict what winter and spring would be like. The signs of leaf fall unanimously indicated that the late fall of leaves on the trees promises a difficult and harsh winter, and a late onset of spring. Late leaf fall still foreshadowed the winter cold.

1. If the leaves turn yellow early in the summer, then it will be early autumn.
2. Premature leaf fall - by early winter.
3. If in autumn the leaves quickly crumbled from the trees, then wait for a cool winter.
4. Late leaf fall - to a difficult year: the winter will be long and long.
5. If the leaves fall off the trees uncleanly (i.e., part of the foliage remains on the branches), then the winter will be cold.
6. If the birch and aspen leaves cleanly fall off, then the next year will be fruitful.
7. Until the cherry leaves fall, no matter how much snow falls, it will melt.
8. If the snow has fallen, and the leaves have not yet fallen from the branches, then the next year will be difficult.

However, in Russia they watched not only how and when the leaf fall began, but also watched how the falling leaf lay on the ground:

1. If the autumn leaf lies face up on the ground, then the winter will be cold; inside out - warm; half face - winter will be moderate, and cold and warm will alternate.
2. If in autumn the birch leaves begin to turn yellow from the top of the tree, then the spring will be early, and if from the bottom - late.

Autumn Harvest Signs

1. The harvest of acorns is a sign that next year there will be a lot of bread.
2. The abundance of acorns on oak - for a warm winter and a fertile summer.
3. Many hazelnuts promise a crop of cereals.
4. If nuts are plentifully born, and mushrooms, on the contrary, are few, then the winter will be snowy and cold.
5. Late mushroom - to late snow.
6. A lot of berries - for a cold winter.

Autumn signs on the departure of birds

Our ancestors carefully observed the behavior of birds in the fall. It has long been noticed that before departure, every bird gathers in a flock (strides). Therefore, if migratory birds flock together, they will soon fly away. They also watched when the birds fly to warm countries:

1. If the birds fly away, then the autumn will be short; if after the Intercession - long.
2. If the rooks flew away early, then snow will soon fall and winter will come early.
3. Wild geese flew away early - by early winter.
4. If during the flight to the south the geese fly high, then the winter will be cold.
5. Migratory birds fly low - by a short autumn.
6. The crane flies away late - winter will not be established soon.
7. The swan flies in autumn - to the snow, the goose - to the rain.

In general, it is believed that the early departure of migratory birds portends the rapid onset of cold weather and early, short autumn. If the birds fly away late and not together, then the autumn will be warm and protracted, and winter will come late.

Autumn signs for animals

To many animals and insects, the peasants prescribed the gift of foresight of the nature of the coming winter. Therefore, they carefully watched how animals arrange and adapt their dwellings, dispose of supplies, overgrow with wool and accumulate fat in the body:

1. If in the autumn the fur coat of the hares turned white, then winter will come soon.
2. In autumn, hares have a lot of fat - the winter will be cold.
3. If the ermine turns white early in the fall, then winter will soon come and snow will fall.
4. Since autumn, moles have been dragging a lot of straw into their minks - the winter will be cold.
5. Squirrels in their hollows make large reserves - for a frosty and long winter.
6. Field mice collect dry grass inside their holes - for a cold winter, outside - for a warm one.

Many animals, preparing for winter, change the color of their outer cover. For example, a white hare and a partridge turn white in winter. In addition, they looked after when domestic and wild birds begin to molt: if it is early, then winter will be early.
