A Steady Pace

The air is just a bit flat this week, meaning the moisture is down. The shadows are sharper and the sun is not so hot.  A tidbit of fall?  A sneak peek.  Having the 6-year-old means we can spend more time on his new bike and not sweat so much.  I took a walk around the yard, and these are the harbingers of fall at my feet.







My cosmos are in full and abundant bloom, but the early blossoms now look like this.


I realize that no matter what events happen in my life, the world marches on at its steady pace and does not worry that I have fallen behind.

  5. I feel like fall is coming early this year. The weather has been unusually cool here for August. We didn't get much summer weather. And I've seen a few leaves that have already changed color too.
    It happens too fast.
