In the spring I had the good timing to be at the Marina as a couple of large sailboats were being put in the water. It was always a sign of summer to see the marina full, with the show of masts.
The reverse is also true I realized as I drove by the marina and saw the stark emptiness, the empty docks leading out into the water, leading to nothing.
Another season is done, as the grey skies, the rain and the cooler temperatures will attest. Winter is not far off. What does it have in store for us this year?

Normally I love the fall. I love the changing colour of the leaves and the bright sunshine with the cooler temperatures making the air feel crisp and fresh.
Unfortunately, this fall has been cold and windy, dismal and wet – not typical at all. And the trees are telling conflicting stories. The chestnut and walnut trees were virtually empty this year, a sure sign of a mild winter. However, the pine trees are loaded down with cones, a sign of an intense winter.
In the meantime, the pool has been covered and there’s a carpet of leaves on the ground, still to be dealt with. Signs for sure that winter’s coming. Only time will tell which of the trees are correct in their prediction of how bad it’s going to be.
