Fall

09/28/09

I am taking a risk today and sitting outside on the swing with minor protection -- that being the canvas canopy over the swing. There is a wind advisory in our town today. Not stormy, just windy, and what this means in our yard is broken twigs and WALNUTS coming down. The WALNUTS make a huge noise when they hit. It wakes me at night sometimes. One will hit the roof with a BANG, plop, plop, plop, pause, pop on the ground. Today they are coming down in twos and threes, hitting the canoe or the abandoned vehicle in the yard or a metal trash can. It's loud. And although I am not sitting under a walnut tree, I am aware that one of those loose twigs could get blown on me. However, it is so fresh outside, that I have to be out in the windyness, on the swing reading, while walnuts and twigs and leaves fall all around, and I am loving it.
