Autumn Aroma

Today, my Canadian maple 'leafs' 

were cooked with Cretan flair.

Basted in clear stock from the sky, their

 autumn aroma floats in summer air.

 Lukewarm droplets landed on our Leylands, while

   Goldcrests were greeted with a firm H2O handshake,

giving them their word that fall is on its way.

This meteorological meeting was not scheduled. The day

 was off to a sunny start. It's still summer, after all!

But from my balcony, 

village views cued other hues,

of landscapes lush, but dewy!

 And then...

The skies turned grey,

the sun hid rays,

and the clouds 
filled up with tears.

 And when they burst,

they quenched the thirst 

of cooped up blooms, relieved,

  and ready to appear.

 Any sign of the season sneaking up on you?

Thanks for visiting
and happy weekend!
