I've been enjoying the cooler weather (not the new allergens floating in the air but there must be a rub to the cooler bliss) driving around town. It's somewhat bittersweet to imagine the end of summer, but fall compensates for the loss of warmer, longer days. The corn is at it's peak in height. The mist has been enveloping the fields in early morning. Ahhh....lovely. And then today, I saw it! The true sign that fall is just around the corner. Wiggly. Wooley. Yes...indeed. A wooley worm writhing it's way as quickly as possible across the hot asphalt. They remind me of the Atari version of salmon run (did anybody else play that as a kid?) just trying against all odds to reach the otherside of the road while dodging scurrying vehicles. They say the color and multitude of wooley worms predicts the type of winter we will have. To me, it's the sure sign that leaves will soon fall, bonfires will abound, and winterizing should be considered.
So, race on little wooley ones! We welcome you...
p.s. I'll try my best to dodge you on the roadways!
