October Turns

cooler weather and strong winds
all the leaves falling and we see the shapes of trees
light streams into the house as the sun moves south
red geraniums still bloom
October turns to face November

rain today

the end of what we know
and how deep
faith continues to grow

Photo Challenge: Waiting

Waiting – we have long winters in Wisconsin, and spring is slow to grow, after it arrives.   This is good time, and it is good to rest and wait.  To be outside more now – late summer here – and leave some tasks for the long winter.
