First Fall Day

Yes, you read that correctly. Not the first day of fall, but the first fall day. Although the air was warmer than usual during my morning walk, the temperature is only going into the low 60s. There is now a very brisk wind. Leaves are swirling around and all those little sticky pine cone things are clicking as they drop on the skylights.

We do have more trees than just pines so we have aspen leaves and maple leaves filling the air before dropping to paint the ground with color.

Yesterday I wore palazzo pants and sandals. Today jeans and sneakers.

There is still blue sky and there are a lot more clouds than we have seen for months. Perhaps there is hope for the rain which is forecast for later in the week.

Deck umbrellas are lowered and tied down. The deck furniture is staying where it is for now and the time to store it is coming rapidly.

The season changes. We are pensive, excited, grateful and reflective. All of life moves on.
