Relaxing in my living room, nursing an autumn cold, I cannot help but look in awe at the concert I witness in my patio window. I’m lucky because these trees lose their leaves in mid-November compared to many other bare trees in my area. I feel blessed at this time of year, to see such vibrant colours. But today they are jumping and doing backflips with that cold wind. People pass by snug in their winter parkas and tuques on their way to our local park. I have no intention to brave the cold.
I see the clouds moving and often they are dark and daunting…like a warning, “We’re coming to get you my little golden friends.” For some reason, I hear Dorothy’s witch cackling this. The end is near. The tween times are often difficult…the limbo of this season where we see darkness already by mid-afternoon, tree branches bare…no snow yet…and we wait during this transitional state . Thank goodness for Halloween and trick or treatres bringing joy and life to this time of year…
Until then, I feel blessed to see this vision of beauty Mother nature brings us each year.
giggles echo
rustling in the wind
bright and lively
smiling at dark clouds looming
one more day of play
golden leaves
swaying in the wind
final act
golden leaves
dancing
with abandon
swaying in the wind
holding on
for dear life
final act
carefully orchestrated
a full panoply

Such beautiful words inspired by natures beauty! No coats here. Still in shorts most days with temps in high 80s to low 90s.
Hubs to my friend.

Thanks so much for your kind words, Janice. It got unusually warm the last 2 days so for the first time in my life I followed my grands trick or treating in short sleeve shirts…most people were outside ont heir porches. It was such an amazing scene …no lovely halloween costumes hidden under winter coats either. So shall we say we had a Texan Halloween this years (smiles) at 70F!!!! when usually it is 40ish and often snowing. The world is warming up alright. Sending you and Gene hugs and thinking of you on your elections…Canada always watches our neighbours down south.
