Lean Closer Autumn, Dear...
Was Autumn ever anticipated more than now? Inside my head?
No. Never. Not this year anyway...
100 + degree weather and humidity that melts your bones and leaves you a buttery pool on the ground...its disgusting. It's suffocating and very similar to hell, I think. not that I've been there, but from what I read and hear...
So! There's this tree and it's turning color. In San Antonio that means the leaves dying hue is a turd brown. But its enough. I get to crunch them beneath my shoes...
And today! oh ! Sunday lovely morning, today! a Northern wind blew and whispered in my ear the promise of winter near.
I'm counting, leaning, straining the months, weeks, days, hours until I see my breath in the air and the stars wink more brightly in the crisp night air
and I am there
with winter.
We have been having a bit of Indian Summer here at the Oregon Coast this past week.... However, like you, I would rather have Fall.
