Lake Lewisia #887

Have you found your autumn talisman yet--that small, seasonal object that sings to you of crisp leaves and warm spices, and which can be clutched close in moments of need? Remember, your talisman wants to find you too, so don't be surprised by acorns throwing themselves at your head from up in tree branches or pumpkin-shaped mugs that mysteriously manifest in your shopping bags when you get home. Don't forget, either, that the nature of these talismans is to leave you when the seasons change again, so there's no point in worrying about things like quality, respectability, or perishability--anything joyful you can hold is just right.
