Autumn

A grey fog hangs a low shroud on the looming san gabriel mountains.
The signs of drizzle has left a moist covering on everything outside.
Gone is the dry heat of summer and the spectacular morning light and shadows
along the mountain range.
For the past 2 months the sight has daily taken my breath away.

my son Tyler, full of vitamin C, listerine and a box of tissues handy
has regretfully stayed home from school today.
he's not the only one.
i've noticed sniffles and hacking coughs in every public space.
but not me...yet.
i grab a cozy sweater, celebrating these seasons i've missed living on the equator
and head out the door on a new day.
