A Breath of Fresh Air

This morning’s walk brought, literally, a breath of fresh air. After weeks of heat and mugginess, a cold front pushed in cool temperatures and lower humidity. The wildlife I encountered seemed to appreciate the break. A doe watched over twin fawns, spots now barely discernable, as they frolicked and kicked up their heels. Raucous crows strutted and squabbled over a neighbor’s compost pile, and a couple of squirrels played grab-ass in a white oak.

My immediate surroundings seem brighter, as if rising from a stupor. Looking further, I sense something else going on. It’s been a tough summer. People are awakening. Autumn could become quite interesting.

Be careful.

Be kind.

Please, stay alert.
