North winds


My chimes are ringing which means the wind has turned from the North and we are about to get another welcome taste of autumn. High gloomy clouds give up a fine mist that dances on the wind like it is happy to be here. It means cooler temps, many multi-colored leaves that will need to be raked, added to other preparations for cold weather but most of all a chance to be comfortably outside and become a part of the changing season. Maybe a walk in the park to watch and listen to the first of the leaves give up their host and settle to earth where they will spend the winter transferring their sustenance to the soil and its denizens. Like the mist today I'm happy to be here.
