fall-ing
"I looked out my Montana windows and saw Colorado trees.
My best friend's trees, with leaves to rake, and a tire swing.
I felt an early fall evening of high school, waiting for my mom to make dinner.
Perhaps it is because I still love the love of my youthful falls.
Perhaps fall brings with it all of its nostalgia."
This was my journal entry on this day last year. I thought it was a good summation of how I feel in the fall. I always get homesick, and nostalgic. Something about the crisp air, the smell of woodsmoke, the brisk awakening your senses get when you stand outside. It's like your body is more aware of being alive because everything around is beginning to bid adieu for the winter.
Kent and I went to go see Stardust yesterday, I actually very much enjoyed it. It was a fun tale, and I thought it was a nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon (I had such awful cramps, I couldn't do anything but sit or lay down.). I did feel better later on, and Kent and I rode around in the indoor arena. He is getting very functional on a horse. We're working on subtleties, and balance now instead of "kick: go, pull:stop". He enjoys it, which makes me very happy. I'm at work today with little motivation (and the numbing effects of a lot of extra strength tylenol) to do anything. I'm working on a plot outline for a short story, looking for recipes for stuffed green peppers for dinner, and trying to figure out how to pay my bills this month while waiting for next month to roll around when I actually have the money to pay them. *sigh*
