A CHANGING DAY




TRANSITION


Should it be surprising?


dry leaves falling


temperatures dropping


north wind chilling


flannel shirts comforting


garden beds sleeping


crock pots simmering


cosy boots waiting


snow flurries teasing


daylight decreasing


I’m adjusting as


autumn is yielding


to winter.

One more line ...

daughter counting down

... which seems to be a regular part of fall's closing and winter's coming for me! Simmering crockpots, cosy boots, sleeping gardens ... winter is so peaceful. 34 days until we come!
