The seasons are moving quickly on us, as though, once decided, they want to get done. The rest of nature doesn't seem as sure about what's going on.
Lawns are still green. The cherry tomato plants are still blossoming and we just 'harvested' a few strawberries from our little plant...

A blue sky began the day but a convention of clouds formed. Sunshine fades. The temperature finds a lower floor and a smell sharpens the air. Glances cast at the sky quicken with wonder, will it snow? More sage people say, "Yes, it'll snow. Will it stick?"

If I had known last winter would be the last one I'd see, I would've cupped the snow, patted and balled it, and stacked it in my freezer. I would open my freeze door from time to time and stand, awed by the whiteness of the snow, the last time I would see it outside of a dream.

Precious Cargo
