Autumn Joy

The photo: the view from my office floor Sunday afternoon (I was stretching out my back).

The leaves are turning the most beautiful colours, orange and reds and gold, with hints of deep purple. This, of course, happens every year, except last year.

A deep cold after a hot fall turned everything brown and dead overnight. We had mud coloured leaves, frozen basil, and ruined carrots.

This year, we’re having a lingering fall, as mother nature lovingly changes the colours a little more each day. I’m trying to savour every moment, now that I know what it’s like to lose this entirely.
