Footsteps in the Leaves
It's September so the sight of coloured and falling leaves should be no surprise. It does seem a little sudden, especially the cooler temperatures that followed what seemed like an endless heatwave (that lasted only a few days in reality).
The windows at home are open now, the air conditioning machines turned off. I'm actually able to wear a sweater outdoors to be comfortable.
And as I walk my dog I am delighted by her footsteps as she trots through the grass and fallen leaves. It has a specific sound and cadence that I can't get enough of and lasts only a few short months.
