Fall can sneak in quietly at the end of a summer you hope won't slip away,
or can enter with confidence in a blaze of glory.
Such is the case in the Cotswold landscape, where fall has not entered meekly.
It shouts for attention
and demands one sit up and take notice.
The process of change
leads to a pause
and moments of reflection,
giving thanks
for the seasons
of our lives.
Savor each and every one. The fruit is ripe for the picking. Reach out and enjoy.
