I Wish I Could Bottle This.
We had a wet fallish weekend. So much so that Juli asked for a baked potato dinner, a usual fall staple for us. But this year has been nothing but odd in the weather department, so fall in early August? Why not?
But the effect autumn has on me is to energies everything. It's that ol' "Back To School" training that I had throughout my 18 years of structured education. Autumn arrives and the brain fires up.
So today Juli and I went out for breakfast at the Family Pancake House, our favorite haunt. Then We went directly to Barnes and Noble and dropped a bunch of money on books. As soon as we got home I walked to Fred Meyers for some shopping, a 3 mile round trip. Got some weeding done in the garden beds. [damn thistles.] Throughout the walking and weeding I've had my iPod playing orchestral soundtracks. The sun has been struggling, and there are plenty of turning leaves. While I'm disappointed in the Summer Weather, we've only had 4 weeks of sunshine, I wouldn't mind autumn starting now. Especially if it fires up my creativity early.
