Fall brings cooler temperature and this cardigan is perfect for our weather. Large dots of golden sunlight swish through the leaves on the trees, dancing in patterns across the bare floorboards. The gentle lapping sounds of the pond travel up the hill, the canoe bobbing in place along the shoreline. Sunlight glimmers across the water’s surface as birds sing bright secrets.
