seasonal thoughts
I walked outside this morning to discover that it is fall. Yellow, paper-rustling leaves covered the sidewalk, the sky was grey with hints of blue peeking through, and the wind–barely more than a breeze–carried a slight chill.
It is, after all, October. I should not, therefore, be surprised to see the trees turning or find the mornings darker than usual when I’m out walking Himself. But I am. I am always surprised by autumn–and no more so than this year, coming on the heels of a delightfully fresh Indian summer.
