This, right now, is my time of year. Fall. It’s my time to reflect, give thanks, and prepare to hunker down for winter. In just the last few days the weather has turned unpredictable - a true sign of fall’s official arrival. The sun pops out and makes it feel like summer and without warning the clouds will roll in with the spine shivering wind and ice cold drops of rain to make it feel like winter. Every tree is turning colors now. Yellow and red are overtaking the green with each passing hour.
One gust of wind can remind me of Halloween night as a kid. Covering up for the bitter cold and marching around the neighbor trick or treating, running up and down driveways over crinkling leaves until our cheeks (face and butt) went numb. The glow of Dad’s cigarette in the street was like a beacon in the night.
Anywho, Brinkley and I spent the morning cleaning. Actually, I did all of the cleaning. He only supervised. Tomorrow we’re decorating!! We may go for a run through the leaves but that’s it! I have another day of overtime scheduled for Tuesday so Monday is Let’s Be Bums Day!!
For now, I’m off to celebrate Mom’s birthday!! And get it in some Moxon fun time!
