with a light gray rain falling today
there's a gentle first hint of fall in the air
a certain stillness hangs lightly
as the days get a little shorter
and all of the green loosens its hold
slipping into whispers of yellows and reds
i love this quiet time just before the explosion of fall color
there's a certain dreaminess
as summer drifts into memory

Last night was the first night I felt fall at my side. There was a clean crisp feeling that I love and cardigans were born for.
ReplyDeleteLovely imagery of the green sliding off the leaves...

fall is coming, no doubt. it is my favorite time of the year...you would think that spring would be (though it's a close second).
