Autumn
Now we're out in the back with the barking dogs
My heart the red sun,
Your heart the moon clouded
I could go crazy on a night like tonight
When summer's beginning to give up her fight
And every thought's a possibility
And voices are heard, but nothing is seen
Why do you spend this time with me
May be an equal mystery
Year after year, I get all excited about fall. People who know me know this. They can see the change in me, and I can never explain why. Just that something in the autumn really is native to my blood. I can't explain it, and I also can't express how relieved I am that I can still feel fall, even in the desert. Desert plants don't change colors hardly at all, especially since it's still in the nineties during the day. But I can feel the weather turning cooler, and I can see the change in the sun light. I was so worried that by moving here, I would lose fall for good, and I would hate that. It just makes me so happy.
Other than that... I'm pretty proud of myself. I think I'm really learning how to deal with people and make friends, all on my own. I'm happy about that. It makes things much easier and better.
I've been tired lately. I'm behind on my school work, etc., and just not getting enough sleep. So I'm working to resolve that.
We got a new kitten the first week of September, rescued directly from the streets. His name is Spike, and he is adorable. He is Mr. Personality, into everything, and very nearly strangled himself on a cat toy his first week here. I'm glad he's here.
Went to visit my in-laws in Utah last weekend. Their home and their area is so beautiful. Their house makes me want to have kids just so they can go visit- it's the kind of house that every kid wishes their grandma and grandpa had. And the red rock cliffs surrounding their town... they take my breath away. I look at them and wonder what it would be like to grow up in their shadow- surely it would change you. The scenery going up there is so stark to a California girl who grew up with rolling green hills. Stark, but beautiful. Who knew?
