A week with a definite Autumn feel.
A week of filtered sun, leaf strewn paths,
chickens on the road, and pumpkins by the door.
A week when a completed puzzle celebrated the season.
A week that included a visit to an orchard
to experience the delights of harvest, and a bowl
on the counter to celebrate the memory.
And the simple pleasure of bran muffins
with raisins, bananas and walnuts.
