It Was One of Those Fine October DaysIt was one of those fine October days
free from summer’s heat and haze
but not yet gripped by autumn chill.
It was one of those fine October days
when the sky’s so clear
you can see the moon
through the atmosphere at midday.
It was one of those fine October days
when the trees sport yellow and red
instead of everyday summer green.
It was one of those fine October days
when one draws a deep breath
and is grateful to be resident on Earth.

Amanda, do you recognize "your" tree? Yesterday was a beautiful day...the first snow falling in the mountains, but sunny in the lowlands. A little break before the next rain storm tomorrow.
I thought that was "my" tree! It has such a way of looking majestic no matter what the season is, but of course especially right now. It was fun to see how much my tree friend has grown!
ReplyDeleteI can't drive by it without thinking of you coming home from school and telling me about your "favorite" tree!
