Where, oh where, is this year going? The summer is soaring away and autumn has its nose poked into my daily routine.
Prune the roses? No, don't bother now. Deadhead the petunias? Well, soon they'll be gone anyway. Make some chili? With cold nights ahead, that sounds good.
This maple leaf block reminds me of the colors of autumn -- rusty reds, dulled golds, blunted greens. Soon the autumn palette will envelop the northland into a wonderland of fall color. There will be apple cider at Leipprandt's orchard, football Saturdays in East Lansing, raspberries from Ed's garden. Ah, I can hear September's song and it tastes good.
