Frost's October

I'm thinking of Robert Frost's poem "October."

It starts,

O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow’s wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
[...]

This hush has permeated my being. I've been sleeping more, sending letters, taking long slow walks, appreciating the filtered sunlight.

  1. I am sitting on my patio more, trying to soak up all the sunlight and warmth before it fades.

  2. I love imagining that image of you. I also imagine that you had some furry company :)
