Finally!


Surely it was yesterday that I was sweltering in the smoky doldrums of late summer, longing for autumn, cool and colorful...and wincing when I realized it was still August and I would be stuck with crackling heat and dust for another month.

And yet, this morning it's full-blown fall, with juncoes and sparrows, doves and jays squabbling over seeds under the feeders; while the spiral notes of crane calls and discordant symphonies of goose barking waft over the channel from the east.

I feel as if I have come home.  Or, perhaps more accurately, home has come back to me.

October is definitely my favorite color...!
