Day Crashes

[rejectomorph]

The dogwoods are beginning to show deep shades of red among their green leaves. Piles of raked pine needles now stand like miniature haystacks along the street. Certain other trees have released swaths of gold to conceal the gray pavements here and there. The onset now clear, I don't even need the cold which creeps under the door with nightfall to tell me that autumn is here.

Other things happen; A crane fly just tried to kill itself by flying dangerously close to a bubbling pot of soup I'm making. I, on the other hand, merely flung my gaze into the clouded evening sky and ended up distracted to the point of speechlessness for hours. I'm unsure which of us is more foolish.

I'll be in NC tomorrow afternoon, and I can't wait to see the dogwoods... I've been looking forward to that in particular. now if I can just get back in the spring at the right time to see them bloom.

We have only a few scattered dogwoods here, and they really stand out both in spring and fall. The color must be quite impressive where they grow in large numbers.
