"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." -- Albert Camus
It seems like it was just a couple of weeks ago that I was floating along dreamily in a swimming pool, gazing up at the hazy summer sky. But the leaves tell me a different story of time-keeping, and the morning temperatures have been sliding steadily down the thermometer. I'm not sure if I'm quite ready for winter just around the corner (okay, let's be honest: I'm completely not ready for it!), but this last hurrah of the year, with its festive confetti of leaves, is keeping my spirits up. And of course, it's giving me all kinds of new photo ops!
So, while I'd really rather still be floating along in those dreamy days of summer, I'll take the new season in good stride, layering on the sweaters and heading out into the nippier air. It's the least I can do when Mother Nature is putting on such a pretty Arts & Crafts show, don't you think?
P.S. BIG NEWS!!! I'm featured in the latest issue of Bella Grace magazine! Do check out Issue #13, available at Barnes & Noble and other national booksellers and craft stores. (Or you can order a copy at Stampington.com.)
