(no subject)
we realized that most of the summer was gone and now there was nothing we could do about it.
just a string of overly humid days full of expected events and things we "have to" do.
a tree in our side-yard got the city's mark of death and we spent a week or more managing that.
a month straight of visiting relatives and awkward celebrations.
air conditioning upstairs or downstairs but not both at once.
plans plans plans - but not good, get excited in your stomach, get up early smiling kinds of plans - just things to do - things to get through.
not posting because it seems unexciting and my life recently devoid of much.
best things...
watching our cat enjoy the backyard. lazy tumbling onto the grass with deep purrs.
the porch in the morning or evening - eating cheerios for breakfast. quiet mornings.
cold showers in the midst of hot days - reviving and re-energizing.
Method (from Target) soap squares make me happy - bumpy & clean.
iced coffee in the fridge.
celery sticks & organic peanut butter
paging through fall magazines and catalogs
I want...
the chilly snap of fall
the cozy comfort of jeans and sweatshirts
wearing long sleeve tops and comfy pants for pajamas - or flannel
the feeling of slippers
hot cider
to bake anytime and not wait for cooler days
farmer's market pumpkins, teeny tiny squashes, apples and haybales
sweaters
wool coats
boots
corn mazes
hay rides
