It was warm enough for me to go for a walk through the park after work tonight. Well, it was warm enough as long as I wore my winter coat, hat, gloves, jeans, and a hooded sweatshirt, that is. Still, I walked outside. That was a good thing. I felt like I was inside a kaleidoscope. With each turn in the road, the sunset and clouds shifted into different shapes and changing colors: yellows, purples, pinks, oranges, reds. I saw the buzzards in the trees too. They are back. Welcome signs of spring on giant wings. It was too dark to take a photo of them, but they were roosting in the tops of the tallest pine trees in the park. Every once in a while, I could hear their wings flop as they switched from one branch to another.

Saying Goodbye to the October Sky It's almost time to say goodbye to the clouds of the October skies. Baskets of apples piled high Pumpkins carved with triangle eyes Witches and monsters and ghosts saying boo Leaves and rakes, bats and spiders too Sacks full of acorns Shadows crossing the floor trick or treat candy corns a purple bowl by the door Cornucopia of colors, so much to see from the fruits of the harvest to the leaves in a tree It's almost time to say goodbye to the clouds of the October sky.
