Autumn arrives shrouded in mists and drizzle. The only drawback to exhilarating hikes on wooded trails are the threads of spider silk that span the passage. My canine companion Cooper couldn't care less. While I enjoy nature's artistry he chases squirrels and crows and inspects decaying tree skeletons, casualties of summer storms. Sixty-degree temperatures and lively breezes whisper songs of autumn, tussle pine tops and raise pleasant woodland aromas off spent summer splendor now carpeting the forest floor. By nightfall forces at work in windblown pine straw cast across city sidewalks intrude upon starlit skies and spawn tornado warnings across the Piedmont Plateau and eastward.
