I have been neglecting my Blog these past weeks...a particular;y hectic schedule and the lame excuse of having connection problems at the office have allowed me to laze by and savor the last traces of summer. I have general lay not been a big fan of summer, generally savoring the fall, but this year for some reason I have just not been ready to let go. It may be that I am clinging to our trip a bit, and the warm weather serves to remind me that it was not so long ago. Nevertheless, the clock has moved ahead, and I realized this weekend that my shorts are not really that warm, and going out into the backyard is not so much fun since the ground has started to soften from too frequent watering in the cooler weather, and that the sod gushes up between my toes. Not that squishing through the mud is altogether unpleasant, just that it does signal that I need to turn off the sprinklers for the year.
The raspberries were particularly late this year, I have been out picking them every afternoon after work for a few weeks but last year we had them all summer. I thought about it when i was out there the other afternoon, and I think it contributed to my un-readiness to have summer end just yet. But the air is definitely cooler, damper, and it has started to get that sweet smell that surrounds leaves as they turn yellow. I also noticed that i have had to wash the car more, because the streets have been just damp enough to throw up a fine mist of mud. Rats.
Finally though I am ready for fall. I am ready to hail the color, air cooler, the rain that will inevitably cycle through on the weekends. I am ready. Mary and I started to get the house ready for fall, with a change in the pots by the door from plants to pumpkins. Halloween is not that far away, and so it is time to explore the attic for the stuffed witch for the rocker on the porch. I have always been partial to Halloween, so it is a good way to launch the season. Hopefully we can find a supplier for my favorite handout - the bubble-gum eyeballs that we discovered a few years ago.
