There’s a restless edge under these bright blue skies as summer is being nuzzled by autumn. Autumn is like that dog you’ve allowed on your bed, only to find your furry friend is stretching across your space, pushing with all four paws until you are sleeping on an outside sliver of mattress, centimeters from falling to the floor. These first cooling breezes are so welcome, and the afternoon sun is so warm, and we forget that cold windy days are ahead. But the birds know; they are winging across our night skies by the millions, resting, feeding, flying again. New birds show up daily, here today, gone tomorrow. Summer is ebbing. Enjoy it while you can. ~K
