October 2024
As memories of summer fade in the cool air of Autumn, the rhythm of nature invites us to turn our focus inward. Buttoning up the garden, putting away the air conditioners, and debating on how soon we should turn up the heat remind us winter is coming. I am grateful for this time of year when I can don my favorite sweaters to enjoy the crisp morning air and feel the warm afternoon sun on my face. My delight in the beauty of brightly colored leaves and clear blue skies somehow make it easier to let go of Summer and prepare to embrace the quiet beauty of Winter in New England.
