September 8/365 Songs 5

Seventeen years ago, two months after 9/11, I boarded a plane and flew to see Kate and Tim, escaping from Kansas and motherhood – a much needed break. During this visit, Kate played an Eva Cassidy album for me. Today, on a cold, wet day, I’m listening to Eva sing “Autumn Leaves”. It’s my favorite fall song, full of melancholy longing.

A different fall day, with Tim and Kate, Harpers Ferry, WV.
