Blazing gold leaves turned to leaf mold covering promises of another spring.
Time to write.
A red fox scampered lightly over crusty snow through boreal forest of spruce, winter-bare birch, and alder.
The last fresh, tasty morsel squeezed from a garden turned fodder for moose.
Time to write.
The fox cast a sharp shadow under a full moon unveiled by fast-moving broken clouds.
Lonely skies, void of migratory birds, echoing raven’s raucous cry.
Time to write.

Time to write.

Stand and stretch after a hard day of writing; job well done.
Time to relax…
…and read.
