It's not a good question to ask, I know. It sparks discontent,
recriminations from those who tell us to live in the moment,
be present,
don't wish your life away...
Still,
I can't help it.
I'm sick of watering. Sick of stagnant brown plants. Sick of the swelter.
And I expect to be understood,
if not forgiven,
for asking,
"Is it fall yet?"
(No, if you are wondering....these pictures were not taken this year....truth in the telling.)
