While standing in the shallows of the Ellis River today tossing balls for the dogs, a perfect bright red maple leaf floated lazily past, easily catching my eye. Not the first red leaf of the season but a surprise nonetheless as the sun was still warm and the river was, too; in this moment fall still seems quite far away.

But, as always, September arrives with its expected surprises, some small and some momentous.
