Falling into Fall (for A. and others who love the season)

This post is about the season, and some of the signs of that season.  Like good old Canadian maple leaves.
Or maple wood stacked to dry.
Or the bright cliché of a burning bush burning.
Or a birch against a blue autumn sky.
Or the soft colours and delicate feet of a creature, this one a deer mouse, that made the mistake of moving indoors.
Or sunlight catching maple leaves.
Or last year’s hydrangeas in the green bin because we have more this year.
Or fall chrysanthemums at the doorway.
Or a rugosa putting out its last bloom of the season.
Or the faint lemon scent you get when you prune the morning star magnolia.
Or just more maple leaves.  Enjoy the season!
