Every tree, every blade of grass, every current berry bush is green right now. Everything is alive and beautiful. It's hard to imagine it all fading away this month, but autumn is evident. The weather is cooling, wind beginning to blow from the north and west. I feel like summer just arrived and now it's fleeting so fast. Even the sun has begun to set. I love knit sweaters and woodstoves, but I'm terribly ad my wildflower-plucking days were so short lived.
