Bonfire Season
Just today, this morning when we returned from walking, just as the sun turned tangerine in the sky, we saw the leaves on our pear tree in the first hue of autumn, that golden tint that begins to curl and dry the green until the stem releases and all the world falls into the bonfireContinue reading “Bonfire Season”
