Indiana is beautiful this time of year.
The trees are bursting with bright, vibrant colors.
Ornamental grasses are dancing in the breeze.
A frosty dew greets us each morning.
There is a pond in the back of our house.
When we wake, there is an eerie steam wafting from its surface.
The geese and the ducks are chatting amongst themselves,
And a lone Egret stands guard on his long skinny legs.
Winter is upon us, it’s clear.
It’s time to stack the firewood, and page through old cookbooks in search of hearty stews and soups.
It’s time… for the Bailey’s!
So as I observe the creatures around me,
Cramming so much life into the last days of fall…
I sit in the Papa Bear chair sipping a hot mug of coffee and Bailey’s,
Calm has come over me, I can let go.
I am ready now, for winter.
Bring it on!
