Now that fall is here, the days are shorter but the temperature is still very warm. We have had some beautiful sunny days this week.
It is time to start the mental shift into the dark time of year. We are losing daylight each day. This is not something I noticed much when I was growing up. In Virginia, the difference is not so great. Maybe I am just more aware of my surroundings as an adult.It seems that the earth is sending up a burst of color in an effort to fight back the coming dark.We are soaking it all in. Trying to make the light and color last, at least in our minds.
We know that in the winter months things are more subtle. We will have to notice textures, and shades of brown and white. We will find the beauty in the "non colors." Yes, there will be bits of color here and there, but not like the show of color we are getting now with the fall leaves and garden harvest against a brilliant blue sky.
