I try to run faster than the squirrels. How do they stay ahead of my strides?
They cheat, of course, and race up a tree when I begin to overtake them. I doubt they could outlast me on today’s run.They don’t even follow me over the bridge to the duck and heron ponds.
Autumn has taken over. Leaves on the Honey Locust trees have turned golden by my window. They fall into the spiders’ vertical lines and twirl in front of my door. They sneak inside and hide in the living room. I wish they could serve as skateboards to take away the debris in the room's corners. I bring them back outside knowing they laugh because they fly back in with the next breeze.
Sugar Maples have started to shoot their magenta, orange and lemon hues to scare the green away. A crisp in the breeze invites the clusters of leaves to bounce and play tag along the sidewalks. Apples, pears and huckleberries have ripened and look ready to eat.
For me, autumn represents change, abundance, and a time to express gratitude. With nature exploding its wonder all around, I appreciate the subtle aspects of life that stimulate my creativity and enthusiasm for every moment in movement.

What entertains you during fall season?
