With the wind raging it becomes terrifying. We evacuated to a Red Cross Shelter for one night. We arrived at the shelter at 2 a.m. The most welcome first words we heard were, "You will be safe here." I shall keep our treasures we took with us that night collected together in one spot in case we must evacuate again. They will not be restored to their usual places until there is heavy rain and that may not happen for months. In Southern California it smells like fire. With the wind raging it becomes terrifying.

Autumn smells like: An apple crisp crust baking brown and crispy with warm wild apples steeping inside. This is right up my alley and really show the poet in you, Fred.

Some describe this as the scent of decay, but that word sounds vaguely disgusting to me, and the scent is anything but that. The scent is intoxicating, certainly, and complex in a way that the undifferentiated lushness of summer can never be.

The crisp autumn air, sharp and clean, Burns my lungs as I carry Through the dead leaf fall The tree’s final gift to us That will come alive again In our woodstove as it Burns bright in a blaze of glory Saving us from the cutting of The sharp winter wind. The chainsaw sings a high keening dirge
For the deadwood, as it cuts sharp and clean.
The crisp autumn air, sharp and clean,
Burns my lungs as I carry
Through the dead leaf fall
The tree’s final gift to us
That will come alive again
In our woodstove as it
Burns bright in a blaze of glory
Saving us from the cutting of
The sharp winter wind.
