After the First Day of Fall

Small tree in front of a Richard Serra sculpture in Olympic Sculpture Park, SeattleWell, it used to bring me great sadness to think about the end of summer. Now I find myself looking forward to the fall. Changing leaves have something to do with it, but also the cool sunny days and almost menacing evenings. I like the idea of thanksgiving. Seasonal associations are very tied to place, and it’s curious to think that another hemisphere is now transitioning to spring. So, from this part of the world, happy fall and spring.
