Autumn Winds

“The leaves fall, the wind blows, and the country slowly changes from summer cottons into its winter wools.”
~ Henry Beston

It must have something to do with the middle of October.

Early autumn outdid itself with sunny days and mild, breezy nights. Then October reached its halfway point, and the skies turned dark, the clouds gathered in layers of grays.  Now the strong winds gust and swirl and the leaves either hang on tightly, or they whip off the branches and take flight before darting to the earth.

The first weeks of autumn were truly autumn.

But the last weeks of October have a wintry feel, and signal the approaching long chill.
