No 4 - The morning light has dulled

The dullness of fall light has started to slowly creep into the morning light
It’s only Mid-August
but I notice it
I want to be outside
I crave it
like I can stock up on lake swims and refreshing river dips
for those long dark night of January
my first winter in New England it snowed 101 inches
we had weekly scheduled blizzards for 6 weeks
The year after I starting getting nervous in August for the looming winer
maybe one day I’ll find gratitude for winter
but for now I’ll just find as maybe creeks as possible.
