holding back the dawn
grey skies resisting sunlight
grace of rain soaked leaves
It’s a classic Seattle autumn morning. One that I delight in. I hope your autumn is off to a good start.

As Autumn Nears, I Remember Spring
Memories of spring
Rain rippling in puddles
Thinking of sweaters
Today filled with rain, cleansing Seattle’s air of the lingering smoke. Very, very welcome indeed.
Just a few days until autumn. Though I look forward to sweater weather, I dread the greater resistance to spending time outside. Something to overcome.

Disrupting autumn
Another smoky, hazy day here in Seattle. The air quality is expected to be slightly better than yesterday. It should continue to get better as the week progresses. I look forward to breathable air.

Autumn Approaches
Woke to wind chimes’ song
Gentle motion of the air
Harbinger of fall
I love the sound of my wind chimes. Today, the pre-dawn morning air cool. Autumn approaches! September just days away, which I delight in. Though I need to trade my shorts and sandals for pants and sweaters, I find that fair.
The Heat of Summer
I really appreciate that Fandango picked up the theme of Word of the Day challenges. Today’s word is “finish”.
The heat of summer
I long for it to finish.
I do love autumn

through the air’s sharp chill
echoes of summer remain
sunlight bringing life
