"Shut the front door" had become a popular expletive ... it replaces something else
But I say it now in it's literal form: Shut the front door and open your back door
It's Fall here in Ontario and many people are jumping in cars and heading to the north or the west or the east to find the colours and the smell and the feeling ... when you can open up your own back door and find those very things
Leaves glinting yellow and red in the sunlight, piled on patio stones; water pooled in overturned lawn furniture or a forgotten toy; vines, almost naked of leaves, clinging to the bricks of the house as if seeking warmth
Stand on the patio with a cup of coffee and watch the dog rolling in the leaves, the mutter of cold soft rain against the drain spout: Autumn is out there
You don't have to go far to find it
