Change of Seasons

 I turned on the tap this morning and was greeted with a coughing stream of brown and rust specked water. "Ahh!" I thought "Fall is approaching!" It's that exciting time of the year when change overtakes the environment. Grasses burst and brown, leaves take on color and drop with the first cold night. And it's also the time when my pipes shed their summer linings and prepare for the winter. It may take a few hours for the water to run clear again, but it brings to mind the season of hibernation and rebirth. Swarms of ladybugs will appear soon, replacing the cicadas of summer. All leading to the day when winter will truly begin, the first spurts of air from my bleeding radiator.
