A Touch of Autumn


Now that the roar of the lawnmowers has stilled, the cawing crows remind me of Girl Scout camp mornings. Crickets and at least two other bird choruses fill the air. What a relief that the nearby light industry is quiet today!

I love autumn! The sunny days in the low 70’s to low 80’s with a slight breeze ruffling golden leaves are almost too wonderful to bear. Thankful, I want to soak up every bit before winter blows in!

Gardening tends to be visual but I’m exploring my garden now with all five senses. Not only are the hyacinth bean pods a beautiful shiny purple, when I touched one I found not the slick surface I had expected from their shine but a soft, slightly fuzzy texture.
