Autumn always catches me off guard.
Summer lulls me into a false sense of permanence. The world feels right and full of possibilities when the days are filled with warmth and sunshine that extends late into the evening. I'll certainly miss the seamless transitions from indoors to out and the sound of birdsong in the morning and crickets at night. My feet will miss the freedom of flip flops. Most of all, I'll miss the flavors of summer.
For today, at least, there are ears of corn from the farm up the road. There are oxheart tomatoes from my mother's garden. There are blackberries from the brambles in the woods. And there is a bushel of peaches from a generous tree. Summer's last hurrah.
