INDIAN SUMMER
The damp heat of summer has given way to fall's crisp breezes. The angle of the sun relents and becomes much more forgiving to those with alabaster skin.
The palette of blossoms; jewel tones and pastels, begins to change to the colors of the earth; bark, clay, and sunset.
The breathtaking blue of an October sky, not seen all year, returns. Cloudless sapphire as far as one can see.
Emerald and peridot leaves put on new dresses of blazing coral, chartreuse, red, and gold; then drift down and cover the ground like a lovely magic carpet that anyone can ride.
A sparkling frost visits summer's remnants, sealing their slumber till spring returns again.
One final burst of sunny warmth to fill our hearts and sustain us through the coming stillness of a frosty winter.
