wet, then crisp

just a few days ago i was being drenched and pelted by hard heavy rain. in less than a block, my pants were soaked through and my umbrella threatened numerous times to blow up and away. it sure proved to be a scrappy fighter and it was all i could do to hold on.

today started grey, but the clouds cleared and the sun is favoring us. my deck door is open and i can hear the crisp bits of what had been summer's green skittering across the pavement. i just love that sound. those of you who live without autumn really miss out, and not just about the colors. the sounds and the smells are so different this time of year.

there won't be many more, so i'm off to get some for myself.
