Waning

[rejectomorph]

It grows more autumnal, new color emerging from the leaves, the air noticeably crisper with evening's arrival. There was a brief time this afternoon when I sat in the sun and grew warm almost to the point of discomfort, but moving to a shady spot quickly disposed of the illusion that summer might be lingering yet.

It was while I was heating that a bee tried to drown itself in my orange juice. I suppose I could take that as an omen, but I think it's just evidence that bees can be pretty stupid. I can be pretty stupid, myself, so I won't further mock the bee. I tossed the juice and the drenched apid onto the lawn. The creature was still living at the time, but I didn't go back later to check on it, to see if it managed to recover sufficiently to depart. I felt bad about having unintentionally tempted it with a tasty beverage in what turned out to be a hazardous cup.

Tomorrow is already the last day of September. I think I missed most of the month. Maybe October will be easier to pay attention to.

October is the easiest month to pay attention to.

It is the tenderloin of the year.

Autumn leaves
Beauty's got a hold on me
Autumn leaves
Pretty as can be.
