Crisp autumn mornings spent drinking coffee and watching the steam rise from your cup swirling, like thoughts in a cluttered mind.
In the afternoon, the sky wears a vivid blue mantle on its shoulders reflecting sunlight into the cloudless skies radiating warmth to those far below.
Leaves with glowing colors of amber, red, and ginger orange sprinkle the green grass like jewels in a crown, as the late afternoon sun slips over the houses of Blackberry Ridge.
A misty coolness creeps softly into the evenings, as bonfires are lit to warm our hands and hearts.
At dusk, the doves call their last goodbyes to the gathering darkness at the tree line.
Twilight settles, enveloping all in the deep blackness of night.
