Certain trees are the harbingers of autumn. They bring delight to the eye and give a foretaste of the visual feast to come. I must admit they also bring a small sense of foreboding with them because they hint of the cooler weather to come, and then the winter snows to follow. As harbingers they make us conscious of the passing of time, but as such they become reminders to live in the moment. Do not mourn the passing of the summer warmth. Do not fear the cold winds of winter. Enjoy the beauty and moments of this day.
