Change In the Weather

This week reminded one of change.  Warm sunny days became windy chilly days.  On those recent warm days one was free to move without the mantle of a coat; now one is in a cocoon of down to keep the body warm.  Gelato isn't as appealing now as a cup of warm tea; citrus fragrances give way to those with sandalwood and musk. Leaves crackle and acorns crunch under my feet and the softness of the green grass becomes less apparent.  Change, life---going out, coming in----change.
