A mild sunny day calls for a walk through the neighborhood. The leaves are falling at a good clip now, some trees almost bare.
I set out for the pond west of my house.
It’s a pleasant walk in a quiet residential neighborhood.
It’s surprising what you notice if you slow down and really look: burst cattails, fluffy milkweed pods.
At the edge of the pond, I heard a plop but didn’t turn quickly enough to see what dove out of sight. Probably a turtle.
Glad I am not the person who has to rake up all of the leaves.
Some of my neighbors are into the spirit of autumn and Halloween.
We haven’t had any trick-or-treaters in the past 3 years; I don’t think this year will be any different.
I won’t be involved in that part of Halloween, but I can still enjoy autumn, especially with such inviting weather.
Hope your Sunday afternoon was as nice as mine.
