According to this morning's TV meteorologist we will be "celebrating" the first day of fall in a few days. Usually I love the onset of cooler weather as I am a jeans/sweater kind of person. I love the trees as the leaves begin to change color. Somehow I feel a bit differently this year.
We went for a hike yesterday at a nature preserve just west of Port Washington. A nice in-the-woods kind of walk around a pond. We were hoping to spot lots of birds and maybe some wildlife....but we didn't pick the right time of day for that. However two things did catch my eye.
A tree that is beginning to boast a new wardrobe. And a single leaf on the side of the path.
I am not ready for fall 2020. During this crazy year the past few months of warmer temperatures have given us the chance to gather and visit with friends outside. Small groups sitting at socially distant intervals....each couple bringing their own picnic meal. Conversation, laughter, friendship in person instead of zooming. I look at these two colorful signals as a warning that our outdoor entertaining will soon come to an end. Then what?
Trying to figure out how many of our friends are willing to buy snowmobile suits.
