I tend to have conflicting feelings as the seasons
change. I am sorry to say goodbye to the
current season (except winter) but I am ready for a change. This afternoon it was a comfortable 70
degrees with the sun peeping in and out from behind the clouds. I worked to clean out the dead plants from my
vegetable garden. As I worked, I could
see gray clouds moving in. The air
temperature began to drop and the wind picked up. I hurried to finish what I was doing. I ran inside for a sweatshirt to cover the
T-shirt that I had changed into only a couple hours earlier. More leaves dropped to the ground, adding to
the fading yellow and brown carpet. Once
inside I put on comfortable sweats.
Tonight I am enjoying a pumpkin spice tea and contemplating a dip in the
hot tub. It is time to leave the last
vestiges of summer behind and prepare for the long winter ahead. Now I am pondering holiday plans and projects that
had been set aside for gardening. Change
can be a good thing.
