Don't Need a Calendar to Know it's Fall

I don't need a calendar to know fall is here. There are signs all around:



Spiders spin webs between any two or more points in the yard and house.  :(  

By the way, if I put the period after the frowny face :(.  does it look like a mole?  






A cluster of stink bugs lurk outside hoping to sneak in. When they do, Bill drops them into soapy water to backstroke until they drown. 



The dogwood adorns herself with red berries. 
(Dogwoods are not dioecious, that is specifically male or female.)





The last watermelon in the garden just won't get ripe and we're in a race against the first frost. 


The corn is harvested.



As we near the equinox the sun shines like a klieg light directly through the west doors. The flower arrangement of rosy sedum, purple basil and zebra grass lights up until it glows as if lit from within. 





 








                       The usually dark hall turns golden.

Welcome, Autumn. I hope you are long and fair.
