Nature Insight: Ready or Not

Berries ripened, hips turned yellow to red;

mushrooms appeared so clean in the grass;


and still a flowering here and there, 
as if spring was in the air
not winter on our minds.


But when the leaves turn colors,
the wind turns cold and brings them down …





… before we, at least,  are ready.
