This will just be a quick post and I am composing it while outside with my grand kids, by which I mean my dogs. One is sniffing in the dark and the other is trying to eat bugs. I wasn't sure my wifi would reach out here. It does. Rad.
It's a cool, fall Montana night. The wildfire smoke has cleared from the air, the stars are out, and it's just cool enough that I need my sweatshirt. Pretty soon, people will be lighting fires in their fireplaces, perfuming the air with that nostalgic scent that goes so well with a crisp autumn evening. Ok, I know, burning wood is bad for the environment, and I'm trading wildfire smoke for fireplace smoke (there is a difference, as most of you know), but for my vision's sake, set global warming aside for just one moment and come back with me. It's my favorite time of year. Apple cider, caramel apples, cool weather, snuggling in blankets. I love it.
Moment ruined. The girls ran to the front gate, barking furiously, and I swear I heard someone whisper "hi" to them. I bailed on my fall night revere and booked it to the house and locked the doors. I guess we'll take that final trip outside when Jocie gets out of the shower.
That seems like a good place to say goodnight. Good night, Gracie.
Fall is my favorite too. Soups and sweaters and pumpkin flavored deliciousness. I had a pumpkin ale last night, so yummy.
ReplyDeleteI love fall too. By far my favorite season. Keep up the blogging. I'm glad you're back at it.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's easy to put it off, but I'm learning the concepts of mindfulness and moderation in stress management and attempting to practice them. Moderation in tv watching, so that I can do more writing is the goal right now.
ReplyDeleteAnd fall is awesome. It would be more awesome if we weren't choking on smoke. I'd even take a big snow storm, if only to clear out the smoke and put out the fires.
