Blustery day

'After The Storm'
Prints in all sizes

It's dark and blustery in my corner of the world
from summer to winter in just a day
Autumn will show herself soon enough
painting the trees yellow, orange and red
luring me into the garden to gather the last of the dahlias, zinnias and cosmos
and rake leaves into the compost pile

But for now, I'm staying inside
wrapped up in one of the thick afghans my grandma made
for just these kind of days
and watching dark clouds
chase each other across the sky

I love watching weather, I hope you do too!
