The breezes sighed through the corn, rustling the the dried tassels and the papery leaves, rubbing the stalks together with a soft rasping sound.
The pulse of the earth is slowing down, gradually cooling, settling in for a long winter’s nap.
But yesterday, just for a spell, the air warmed, jackets were not needed, the fire died in the woodstove, and joy filled the souls of all living and breathing things. A reprevie, a warming back up…or at least a stopping of the cool down for an afternoon.
As the Chinese Proverb says: “One joy will scatter a hundred sorrows.” A warm afternoon was proof of that proverb.
Very much your friend,
Linda
Thanks for the beautiful description (and photos) of a perfect autumn day.

I was looking at the Weather Channel yesterday and it looks like Colorado, and even where I live in Las Vegas, is going to be an extra chilly, wet winter.
The West needs the water. If the channel’s predictions are accurate, maybe the Rockies will get some good snow pack.

It is. It’s also drying out my fire wood, which is a very good thing.

Hi Linda
Beautiful photos to accompany that Chinese proverb.
I certainly hope that the proverb works for me tomorrow,
maybe THAT is an “omen” for the first Tuesday of November,
Australia’s Unofficial National Holiday – the day a race “Stops a
Nation – The Melbourne Cup”.
My annual bet – a First Four Passed the Post goes on this
morning – Pre-bet. Then I settle back and hope for a not
lightning fast dry track – but it is Melbourne and early showers
are predicted.
Cheers
Colin

Yesterday was absolutely beautiful along the Front Range also. Your middle of the week snow will be our end of week rain/snow mix. (I’d prefer the rain.) Hopefully, it won’t be too cold. 🙂

What pretty pictures!! Glad you day was so pretty…we have it today! It is about 84* with light winds and just a joy to be outside! IF it wasn’t for the wasps, they are everywhere! But I will take the pretty Fall day, anyway! Hope your Fall lasts for a little while longer.
Blessings!
