The fall colors continue to shift and re-shape each day. The lawn that was still green on Wednesday is, today, a sea of leaves. The children rake and pile, face paint all day, hail, then sun, then rain, all in an hours worth of soccer. How lovely it was to watch my girl improve over the past two months, her strong kicks and confidence of the game. Somewhere in all of this I've been away and returned, had my dad here, and then gone. I know that the next time I sit down to write in this space, the trees will be bare. That's a tough one for me to internalize. I love this time, love the cooling and colors but always have to brace myself a bit for what's next.
