The weather has been unseasonably warm for this time of
year. However, as I sit on my deck and
the sun sinks lower on the horizon, I feel the distinct chill of the fall night
air. My vegetable garden is still
producing but it’s beginning to wind down.
The leaves on the trees are just beginning to change color. The roses have put out one last burst of
color before the frost arrives.
Squirrels scurry through the yard.
I have mixed feelings at this time of year. The days are often beautiful with warm
daytime temperatures. The cooler days
allow for more outside activities.
However, summer is my favorite season and I begin to mourn its
passing. I am not a fan of winter with
its ice and cold.
Fall is my reminder to enjoy each day to its fullest, to
soak in the warmth, and to look around at the beauty that surrounds me. I take a deep breath, inhaling the aromas of the
season. What a lovely day.
