Fall is here and that means that the weather is getting cooler and wetter. While this is my favorite season, I am also cognizant that the season is fleeting and that coming right behind Autumn is WInter. Winter with its cold, snow and short days. I know that three months form now, I will feel just like this chicken, all cooped up and wanting to get outside.
On the other hand, I tend to be an optimist. I like to make the most of the moment, so I am going to focus on the leaves that are beginning to change and at the last of the summer's flowers. I'll save thought of the coming Winter for another time, when I can no longer avoid them.
