One Good Thing

On the way to get my flu shot today I got to see all the colors of the season. Madison and Hanover really do offer some breathtaking scenery. The hills and the college are overlooked beauties. I think the gays should make the area the new "it" place. Pulling up beside the Fountain in Madison (the very same fountain which can be seen in the 1958 Vincent Minelli film Some Came Running with Frank Sinatra and Shirley MacLaine), I was witness to quite the artistic moment. The Fountain, now shaded a lovely greenish tinge, is surrounded by large pots of bright yellow flowers, and behind the fountain, in some majesty, stands a giant tree, crowned in fiery red leaves. It's a beautiful thing to see, the whole thing set ablaze by the time of day. Autumn. A good thing. I'm glad to be alive today.
