Day 58

January 1, 2020

Today, the first day of a new year and a new decade, I have been further pondering the changes that the previous year brought. This tree, on my front yard, is a daily reminder of the changes the seasons, and life, bring. Before I left for the holidays it was mostly green with a few tinges of yellow. Today, as you can see, it is the most beautiful rust and gold. By the end of the week it will have lost most, if not all, of its leaves. The Santa Ana winds are picking up again, blowing all the leaves away. The winds will be followed by rain (we hope), washing away the smog and with it last years’ concerns. Here is to a new year, a new decade, and to all the new adventures!
