It’s the beginning of that season I know well, named after the river in Africa: Denial.
It started a couple of weeks ago when some of the neighborhood’s Japanese maples showed a blush of orange against their mostly green foliage. I averted my gaze. Plenty of summer left.
Last week during a walk, I passed one of my favorite maples. No, no, say it ain’t so!
“I averted my gaze” 😂😂 As if avoiding some gruesome sight, or socially repugnant practice. So poetic of your emotions about the end of summer😉 Anne HwH
