fall is here

Again - no pics, but just imagine tearing a dark grey-blue strip of construction paper with all its jaggedy edges and laying it across the bottom of a pale blue sheet of paper that has been streaked with darker cottony shapes of chalk, and then gluing on the chunk of cotton in the top of a vitamin bottle after you fringe it in pink and stretch it out a bit...the view outside looks sort of like that.  The leaves are rustling in the wind, and every now and again one lets go of the branch and blow up into the last patches of luminescent sunlight before falling out of the sky and into a corner of curb where damp and decaying leaves have already fallen.  Some still crackle and crunch under foot, and some scape along the ground in the wind before you can step on them.  

Tis the season for tea and squash and soup!  And drippy noses and watery eyes!  And piling on blankets and lots of warm layers!  I may be grumpy at the loss of the long days and the warm bike rides, but I do love this season, too!  peace to you...and many crunchy leaves under foot!  tori
