Pay Attention

It's been a long time since I felt like putting my blatherings to print. I'd like to elaborate on what a busy, eventful summer it has been, that would only be exaggeration, if not an outright untruth. To be honest, it was just long, hot and a bit frustrating (hmmm...I guess that description fits other events as well.)

But, it is now past, and time moves on. School has begun; schedules are back in place, and all is right with the world...

I saw autumn sneaking in over the last week or so, changing a leaf color here and there, dropping a few dry ones in the gust of a cooling breeze. Before long, it'll be here in full force, and folks who failed to pay attention to Mother Nature will wake up one morning, look out their windows, and say, "When did THAT happen?"

I guess that can happen in more situations than the weather, too. I guess maybe that's where that cliche about life being what happens to you when you're not looking comes from.
