So fellow travelers, the last of autumn’s burnished browns and golden yellows have been blown away by several days of steady high winds.

The Memory of Leaves
So fellow travelers, all Sunday afternoon my husband and I scurried about to finish the yard chores before the gift of strangely warm weather ended.
