Chilly feet
grab the robe
darkness invades
and the questions begin
Where is the sun
and why is it still night
why is it cold
why still so dark
An afternoon with quiet rest
birds searching for food
leaves continue to drop
clouds still threaten
So gray is this day
will the sun be here soon
will tomorrow bring rain
or more gray once again
So gray is this day
In the Land of Ridd 
Very nice, V! I like the “chilly” feet, and how the darkness invades & the questions begin…. About the question of whether the sun will be here soon, I heard that it’s going to be up in the 90s again next week. Brace yourself. (Perhaps my family shouldn’t have been so quick to pack up the kiddie pool?)
I know – only in Nor-Cal do you need to turn the heater on to escape the morning chill & then slip on some board shorts for a quick afternoon dip in the pool! Ah well – the real Fall season will be here soon enough & then we’ll be wishing for sun!
