Yesterday dawned gloomy and grey. I awoke to the sound of heavy rainfall and, for a moment, gave thanks for the new roof and gutters finally completed this summer.
A mist rose over the muted green and brown trees on a hillside that should be more colorful this first week of October.
Where are all the pretty colors? We ask the question without expecting a response. They likely won’t come this year thanks to a long, dry summer.
The day was cooler and quiet save for the rain or perhaps because of it.
Fall began on the calendar last month. In my corner of the world, it began yesterday when I awoke to cooler air and a distant mist that was both spooky and reassuring.
Fall has arrived, the day said. Relax and understand that summer’s incessant heat isn’t your burden to carry.
Stop, take a breath and enjoy this day.
No fog where I’m at and I’m shivering today. 26 degrees at sunrise! We are also missing the brilliant fall colors because of dry weather. And the colorful mushrooms, too, for the second year in a row. But there is still much to appreciate and enjoy.
That is a chilly morning! It was nice today and I even got a little cool when we ate outside tonight. The birds were quite happy and it smells like fall. These are things to appreciate!
I got outside today for a brief walk. Chilly but the smell of the autumn leaves made it worth it. Tomorrow promise to be warmer and so I might go canoeing if it isn’t too windy.
Yes, to enjoying each grand day!
Our display of fall colours hasn’t been as vibrant either because of the heat and dryness. I’m enjoying the cooler nights though.
I’m so enjoying the cooler air. I can breathe better!
