Remember blossom
plum-white, redbud, cherry pink?
How we were young then?
**
Webs sag with season’s
bounty, these crickets singing
spinners leaving home
*
Sunlight slants again,
yellow leaves sifted and dropped;
thyme droops, shrivels, spent
*
Summer spread to dry:
coriander, basil, dill,
fragrant seed by seed
These are wonderful. The soul of autumn.

Thank you, Claudia. I love my new office view, right over the back yard. So much summer-ending going on down there.

Obviously the new situation is a good change! I look for more observations as the year turns.

Yes–I grew up very much south of where I live now, and after almost 20 years in “northern parts,” it still amazes me how rapidly the days shorten in this endsummer time.

Yes, I’ve been waking up in the dark now for a few weeks. I wouldn’t do well further north.

These are all so thoughtful, leading the reader to be more pensive. ‘Thyme drops’ made me smile.
