Some of you know that I’ve been a part of the Madison Area Drum Circle Group since last spring. It’s been wonderful playing percussion again, and being a part of this welcoming, diverse, and energizing group. Toward the end of yesterday’s session, the sky complimented our music with some amazing colors and light.

Like the milkweed plant creating its seeds, we can spend a lot of energy molding and creating our future plans. Eventually though, we need to sit back, let the wind carry them where it will, and hope for the best.
Muted colors
The autumn colors in southern Wisconsin (especially the reds) have seemed muted this year, likely because of the drought. This maple branch shows colors quickly turning brown, while tree branches above are still green. Is time running out for those vibrant colors?
