A chilly fall morning

A chilly morning
When the damp air penetrates
Oak leaves warm the ground

The tech arrives this afternoon to fix the heat pump, but I’m cold right now. I am wearing three sweaters and Mom is sitting on the couch under a blanket. I checked the thermostat a few minutes ago and it indicated the temperature in the house is 60 degrees. I know it got down to at least 59 degrees last night in the house. I am not sure what the outdoor temperature was, but I know it must have been between 45 and 55 degrees. Leaves from the neighbor’s oak tree cover the ground. The lawn next door looks like it is wearing an orange sweater.
