Ah, the changing of the seasons. There are trees in town that are just vibrant. They take my breath away, make me want to stop the car and stare, invite me to walk my downtown streets.
The dried corn stalks in my garden sway and crackle in the breeze, and my box of green tomatoes reminds me that summer is indeed over. Slowly my plants brown and dry out, ready for me to trim them back for a long winter's nap.
The crisping of the air draws me outside, leaves me slightly chilled and very happy.
I love this time of year, when the days noticeably shorten, when the sun gets that golden afternoon glow, when the clouds that gather seem thick and pregnant.
Fall in Colorado! Doesn't get much better than this!
