Don’t Miss the Brilliance: Appreciating Autumn
There are two ways to look at autumn. It can be viewed as an austere reminder of the impending and seemingly never ending Minnesota winter. It can also be viewed as a shimmering kaleidoscope, a spirited conversation, if you will, on what it took to get there. Untethered by the summer wind and rain that ripped less resilient trees from their foundation exposing their roots, it’s a boisterous clamoring that wistfully recalls April budding, cool morning dew and the scorching August sun. It’s a brilliant recollection that we are privy to, if we are willing to listen. It’s a life time of experience… a colorful testimony of survival. It’s spectacular show that intensifies with each passing day. Read full article.
