Sticky, uncomfortable, and it’s a full fledged war against mosquitoes.
The sun is brilliant but hot. I find a bench in the shade along the path. The bench faces a sun drenched field. On this field resides an active nest box. I do not know what type of birds dwell at this address.
The fledgelings inside become so excited when the parent returns with food, that their cries channel all the way across the field and plays within my ears. An enormous smile appears on my face.
Out of the corner of my eye, little drops of yellow glitter fall to the floor in slow motion as there is no wind. Are those leaves? This early?
Yes. One glance below my feet on the path confirms that there are autumn leaves on the ground. How did I miss those before?
Why is time flying so fast?
Time flies when you’re having fun! Trite, but true.
Yes! Very true!!

You painted such a picture with your words as well as your brush. I could feel the heat, hear the young birds, and feel the shock of yellow leaves (we have a few in our yard as well! What is happening?). You captured a moment in time.
Thank you so much! Oh no…the leaves are dropping by you as well! Enjoy as long as possible 😀
