fireweed

These days everyone wants to know what side you are on. It ain’t as simple as when Pete Seeger gave voice to the union men. Now unions are refuge for apathy and laziness.

The right-wingers are just as bad spouting racist, sexist garbage and wondering aloud why it ain’t being bought.

That’s the political landscape these days. Meanwhile most people don’t fit into either camp, but it’s presented to all they must choose.

The rain hit. Temperature is still up in the teens. Even the mountains will be void of snow during this warm October.

It will take one good frost to shake the rest of the leaves, stripping the colour and freezing the ground cock hard. That’s how fast it will happen.

Months go by quick, even during this time that is supposed to be trying.

    I’ve just seen one decently golden tree over here so far this year – and that was by the busy main road on my drive to work so you can’t stop to get a photo 😦 It was truly beautiful though…
