The Fall Equinox

On Tuesday of this week, neither the North Pole nor the South Pole tilted toward the sun.  Twice a year, the Sun is exactly above the Equator, so its rays fall equally.  In Spring, I celebrate the coming longer days; fall’s shorter days—not so much.

This week our Monday Morning Walking Group explored a suburban neighborhood of elegant homes.  But one could not miss the vibrant reds and yellows spreading across the wooded areas.  This has been a beautiful New England fall. 

But winter cannot be far behind.

    I read your column in the Items Section of today’s Boston Globe. What a frightening experience you had with your apartment, having to move out within four weeks. I believe I would fear every day that it would collapse.

    I am 85 and have lived in a wonderful CCRC in New Hampshire for almost six years. You will find your kindred people there, as I have.

    Sometimes I drive by a neighborhood and think it would be lovely living there in a private home. Then I think about having to cook a meal and how lovely it is to get a book in our library anytime of the day or night, and all the amenities I have living here.

    I look forward to more columns from you and to hear more about your adjusting to community life.
