Falling In

this is a maple leaf that was so beautiful last fall, and the leaves will be falling again soon. The temperature tonight is really quite cool, and a   fleece vest feels just right to keep the chill away. It's supposed to be warm again next week, but the nip is there and the light slants differently, proving that things will change. It has been such a busy August that my garden is neglected but still proves it's worth by providing volunteer cherry tomatoes, a handful of beans and peas, an occasional strawberry and a huge white spaceship summer squash that should have been picked weeks ago. Now I'm letting it grow just to see how big it can get, or maybe it will provide a very interesting jackolantern! I'm especially thankful for fall this year, but then ....it's always good to be full of thanks for the days when we can relax a little bit and give a sigh of relief.
