Welcome, Autumn!
Although we thought you'd lost your way and would only find us some time after Christmas, you've put in brief appearances these past two weeks. Acorns everywhere. Crumbled and wrinkled leaves like old parchment, turning by slow degrees to colors in the warmth of an evening's fire. Overturned pots where the squirrels and chipmunks have been unpacking the latest trip to the grocer. Seed Pods collecting in low spots of the garden, drying and waiting to sleep deeply and dream of the spring . . .
So glad you found us! Come in. Stay a while. Remind us of how beautiful you can be.
