An Imminent Fall

The weather has cooled off a bit in the past week or two. I like it, I prefer jacket weather and I love fall. But I will miss flowers. That's something I always look forward to in the spring and summer. Not the heat but a variety of beautiful multicolored flowers. My neighborhood has a lot of them. I'm always delighted to see flowers of any kind. I'm drawn to them. They're soothing. There's something serene about them. Something simple. A stillness. A quiet beauty.

I'm looking forward to the fall. Cool days and nights. Changing leaves. Apple cider and pumpkin pie. Bonfires and candles. Warming up under blankets.

But I'll miss the flowers.
