-or-
Fall... Finally
A Haibun
It was a beautiful Labory Day weekend for us. Monday was the perfect Septemer day with sunshine, a little wind, warm, birds singing... you couldn't have ordered a nicer day. I took my daughter out for a walk in the morning and we went on the path that goes down by the creek. The grass, yellowed from having been in the blistering heat for a solid two months, was waving in the gentle breeze and the song of crickets chirping filled the air. My daughter saw grasshoppers for the first time, and they jumped across the path on and off of stalks of amber-colored grass, darting out of our way just in time.

My little daughter fell asleep while we were out on our walk together. It was mid-morning and just around seventy degrees outside. No one was out except for us. I turned around and ambled home so she could lie down for a nap, of which I also partook. The windows open for the first time in a few weeks allowed the September breeze to pass through the apartment.
