The trees blush in reds and yellows at the thought of undressing for winter - soon they will stand brazenly naked, gray, the color of acceptance and surrender. Boney arms are lifted in prayer - do not make the snow heavy like concrete, keep the ice storms away. Let the nor'easters go on out to sea where the fish can look up and wonder at the whirling mystery of the airy world.
