Leaves

There is something about the surface of the pool being covered in Autumn leaves that says "Change is good". At no other time would this be acceptable and yet now it is almost calming. It is a prelude to firewood being stacked by the backdoor and cozy blankets making a home on the couch. It is that contentment that settles into the bones. It is the sudden craving for homemade clam chower and fresh baked bread. It is coming home to a warm house and snuggling up with a good book. The change is very inviting.
