Fall is here with it’s bright colors and shortened daylight. Colors have reached some wonderful shades on the trees and shrubs, but the rains have already knocked many leaves to the ground.

We still have bright green grass but many things have turned brown. As I look about the yard there are some beautiful fruits from the many flowers we enjoyed earlier this year. The dogwood has large red globes that the birds really enjoy. Other plants have seeds and fluff as the milkweed pod. Our watermelons were tiny but tasty and had their little brown/ black seeds to continue life for another year.

I find myself craving light and the mornings hold much less. I like to be outdoors to catch the last rays of sun and often climb the hill behind me at the day’s end to celebrate the closing of the day.
