The leaf at the right is one of many, many, that I found scattered across the lawn this morning. I could have sworn the piles had multiplied in just one evening. And as I look out the window now, the leaves are continuing to fall, but never straight down, always zig-zagging back and forth through the air. The sun didn't really decide to show itself today, making the sky a never-ending plane of different shades of gray. No signs of rain though, no clouds, just vast color. I think the trees are making up for it though. My backyard alone has enough yellow, orange, green, red, and brown to to create half the rainbow. The thermometer currently reads 49, and that is the kind of thing that hits you really hard - Fall is now in full swing, and time is really flying by. For goodness sake, it's October 12th already!
The following poem seems to fit my thoughts at the moment. (I suggest you read it a few times, then reflect)
Nature's first green is gold, / Her hardest hue to hold. / Her early leaf's a flower; / But only so an hour. / Then leaf subsides to leaf. / So Eden sank to grief, / So dawn goes down to day. / Nothing gold can stay. -Robert Frost
On a different note, you will notice I have added The Crucible by Arthur Miller to my "Currently Reading" section in the sidebar. Supposedly, this is one of the greatest American plays of all time, so I figured it must be worth a look. I find it interesting so far, and plan on reading some more of it after I've finished here.
Some upcoming posts will include a review on The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks, and post about the themes of The Crucible. You might even find a The Movie vs. The Book review in the near future.
Enjoy the weekend!
