around here

I'm savoring autumn, taking in details,

storing them away, 

for bleaker days.

I collected leaves, and remembered doing so as a child

and with my own children--

the colors, that spark of wonder.

I've been volunteering at a cat shelter.

In case you want a pet, 

but not the long-term commitment that comes with owning one,

shelters are always desperate for foster families.

My palette has changed with the season.

I take a walk every day,

try to stay in the moment more

and worry less.

I hope you are enjoying autumn, or spring, depending where you are.
