Autumn is a calm season on the island.
The light slants differently on the houses and the harbor.
Now we have time to read books and write books.
Time to take long walks to visit our favorite tree.
Time to remember beloved friends with gratitude.
And to celebrate the births of two October grandchildren.
Time to let nature’s generosity astound us.
Time to linger over dinner with friends.
Time to dream about the holidays ahead.
