When I left Vermont almost a month ago, a few trees had already turned orange & red. I certainly wasn’t ready then for summer to be over and I’m a bit sad that trees here at home are now starting to turn. My aspens are still green, but when they turn yellow I know it’s really autumn.
Since I spent so much time this summer away from home, as well as getting ready to leave and recovering from being gone, I wasn’t going to make a calendar. But then I started doodling around my haikus while I was away — I didn’t know about haiga yet, but I was interested in seeing if I could make some visual poetry. The upshot is I have a calendar designed, the paper is cut, and I’m just waiting for my plates to arrive in order to start printing. I should have some pages to show later this week.
