Step Into The Light
(Ruminations)
Suddenly, just since Friday morning, we have a back yard and a front porch again. You can go out to the garden or down to the river and not come back with your shirt drenched in sweat.
Summer – even longer, hotter and steamier than usual – finally came to a close sometime during the night on Oct. 6.
The pecans trees have started dropping a few leaves here and there; soon it will be time for the nuts. Hundreds of them all over the lawn. Fall tomatoes, time to put the tent up on the riverbank and set out some catfish poles.
Time to fire up the smoker, toast the weather and watch the boy learn to ride his bicycle.
Time to remember what it is about this place that we like so much.
