| Autumn Leaf by Petr Kratochvil |
The last two days have been a little taste of fall... cool air, a drizzle of rain. It has sent me scurrying for an extra blanket, a sweatshirt and even turning on the space heater.
It kind of gives me mixed feelings. I love fall, but it reminds me that our monsoon season is just around the corner. In about three months I will be like everyone else in the Pacific Northwest, whining about the endless rain that lasts from November until March. Right now it's easy to remember that all the rain last winter was the provider of all the beautiful green that I enjoyed all spring and summer. But I know that by January, the lush green and warmth of summer will be a distant memory.
So, while I curl up on my couch with my favorite old afghan and a cup of coffee to write I am reminded to enjoy the last vestiges of summer, to store up warm memories to hold onto in the cold and dark of winter.
