a new autumn

“Autumn leaves don’t fall, they fly. They take their time and wander on this their only chance to soar.”

- Delia Owens, Where the Crawdads Sing


It is hard to find leaves that have actually turned on the trees from autumn weather. So many are dead and dried up, falling to the ground brown and cracked. We, the evergreen state, have not had any measurable rain since July 1st. We try to do our part, but I see now that it is not enough, we all have to do more.
