Autumn is the season that comes between summer and winter. There are many changes that begin during this season. In Autumn, days become shorter. Tree leaves turn from green to yellow, orange and red. Trees need sunlight to keep their leaves green. Without sunlight leaves change colour. At the end of Autumn, animals start storing up food to last through the winter. 
For farmers, Autumn is harvest time and they would cut their crops to prepare them for storage. Autumn is always the busiest time of a year as farmers cut crops and prepare the farm for winter. Farmers use many large and small tools to take care of their farm. Before winter they make sure everything is ready and they repair anything that needs it. These changes make us aware of turning from the hot summer to the cold winter.
