Already it’s late September; the summer really seemed to fly by this year. As sorry as I am to see time seemingly speed up, it’s a thrill to be standing on autumn’s doorstep.

    Every day we are engaged in a miracle we don’t even recognize; a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves… Thich Nhat Hanh This particular ‘miracle’ was in my own yard last week.
