Maybe not yet

I made a list.

Of things I wanted to do

to make the house

look seasonal and welcome fall

through a waiting door.

(Think baskets of russet apples and cinnamon  candles.)

I'm still walking down the hill to work

in sparkly white flip flops

while all the Filipino nurses coming

off night duty are wrapped in pretty scarves

and warm coats.

Summer doesn't end

until October 31st ( I think)

and we have Italy in three days.

I want to stand on the Ponte Vecchio ( old bridge)

and watch the river Arno flow quietly by.

Look out at the sweetly setting sun

and think of Indian summers

still to come.

All photos today,
my little tribute to Indian Summers.
Grazie. ( Thank you)
