It is upon us -- the fall part of autumn. I took a snow brush with me to remove leaves from the car today. The windshield, roof and hood were completely covered with a 2-3 inch layer of leaves from a single tree that has changed completely just this week. The maple and ash trees have either not begun changing or have edges of a handful of leaves with hits of orange and red. I headed to the office this afternoon to print documents, pick up work mail, and chat with a friend working on classes for next week. The day was cloudy with the cooler temperatures of fall back with us.
For the rest of my day, I swept floors and did some laundry. I finished the latest puzzle that was on the dining table. The theme was cats -- mainly advertising posters, book covers, artworks, ceramic and metal sculptures and bits of playfulness with cartoon characters showing up in several places. It was challenging, especially for the black cats on black backgrounds, but it was fun to do. I do find a bit of calmness when getting the thinking brain working at pattern recognition which can overrule the emotional stresses of the limbic system. I've heard of possible thanksgiving weekend plans -- time will tell. I will need to revisit my vegetable dishes to see what might be interesting to contribute to a meal.
A line from an older song came to mind today. The title plays with the leaves I encountered in my driveway. I smiled at this thought -- hope it does the same for you. <grin>. Stay safe. Enjoy!
Fallin' -- Connie Francis
