Even though it is barely the end of July, there seems to be signs of an early fall in the air. The swallows are flocking, the morning temperatures have fallen to 49' and 52' at night in the last 10 days. The leaves on the cottonwoods are beginning to rattle, and the chokecherries are beginning to ripen. But the cricket that sings when we move towards fall is not yet in evidence.
Daily Haiku
morning silently
waits for song of the cricket
heralding the fall
Cricket, please don't sing.
ReplyDeleteWe are not ready for fall.
Let's go back to spring.
