Signs

It has been sunny and beautiful this past week, with highs in the mid-twenties (Celsius). There are blooms on the rose bushes that I walk past every day, and yestereday I saw a dragonfly flitting about as if it were the middle of August.

And yet, the season cannot be denied. The days grow short. The leaves are changing colours. And today I saw a mob of red-wing blackbird -- literally thousands -- gathering in an open field near the highway.
