today is the day i noticed

the change. The colors have been ebbing toward it slowly. The weather is always the first sign, the coolness coming in every now and then and leaving just as sneakily, but the colors change and keep changing, they don't have take backs.

It was along the river I noticed it most today, a perfect Fall picture with trees lining the bank, half the leaves still wearing their Summer's best bright green, but most had moved on to deep orange or even burgandy, Fall's evening gown. God, or whatever you believe made this thing we call life, must have had his genius moment when he thought up Fall. It's quite possibly the most glorious and beautiful moment that nature gives us. I love every scene I see these days, the pumpkins outside grocery stores, yellow domed mums on door steps, cool nights out my open windows and every changing leaf.
