This morning’s early low temperature is another reminder fall is on its way to Nebraska. My response to that reminder included turning on the furnace – the earliest I can ever recall doing so – and wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt and cotton gloves for my early morning walk (fortunately, walking shorts provided enough protection for my legs from the chill).
What I did not do, and hope not to do, is focus on what follows fall. Instead, my thoughts turned to a recent observation that leaves from one of our neighbor’s trees are turning and falling. For me that means we will be enjoying the season’s beauty soon. I already sense nature beckoning me to once again experience its grandeur.
I intend to do just that with an upcoming trip to the Niobrara and as many visits to nearby prairies as getting a house ready to sell and on the market will allow me. My mind’s eye can picture a setting sun highlighting the tall grass’s beautiful golden color, migrating birds and a glimpse of wildlife at places such as the Saline Wetlands and Audubon’s Spring Creek Prairie.
I am ready to be out there!
