Fall Has Fled

Fall has fled, 
its beauty stripped by cold winds and driving snow.
I had a chance to wander afield in Red-tailed Hawk Park
a few hours before a winter storm arrived howling in the dark of night. 
It was fun to enjoy the last of a gorgeous season.

Awash in Gold Before the Snow Flies

Both Terry and I are dreading the arrival of winter weather.
Coronavirus cases and hospitalizations are increasing in Colorado,
and our governor is worried about hospital capacity.
It's on Terry and me to do the best we can to avoid catching the virus,
and that means being really stuck at home when the weather turns bad.
So, on these warm fall days we've been out walking as much as we can.

I love this time of year when the landscape is awash in gold,
the sky is a brilliant blue, and rare blazes of scarlet jolt the senses.

So we'll enjoy a last opportunity or two to enjoy dinner at Parkway
and store up memories of gorgeous days outside.
