I lived in cheap rentals and was proud that I could pack everything I cared about into the back of my pickup truck. Every summer I did just that and went on the road.

Coffee steams from my cup and I&#39;ve been up for nearly an hour. I&#39;ve already been out with the dog. It&#39;s cool today, a good break from all the unseasonably warm weather we&#39;ve had. The drought has lifted for a little while. My rain gauge, unemptied, still tells me last week we had over an inch and a half of rain here east of Spartanburg. It&#39;s felt like the South again for a few days-moist and verdant. Now autumn has suddenly arrived, and the dry weather will likely return if the patterns hold true. The sourwood trees are turning that burnt red that for me signals fall. Winter is only 12 weeks away.</p> <p><a href="http://www.kudzutelegraph.com/node/216">read more</a></p> http://www.kudzutelegraph.com/node/216#comment kudzu telegraph nature writing neighbors wildlife Fri, 19 Oct 2007 06:52:20 -0400 John Lane 216 at http://www.kudzutelegraph.com
