Fall Is Nearly Here

I woke Saturday to beautifully grey skies, and they remained grey all day.  Sunday, for a few brief minutes, it poured rain.  Fresh-lit fires and chimney smoke peppered the air.

Finally, summer is in retreat, and fall is nearly here.

I know I'm a bit off.  Most people beg for sun here in Oregon, but I'm thrilled to see our warm days bow to clouds and exit beneath the horizon.  October and Halloween are around the corner.  Janette and I are buying (way too many) fall and Halloween themed books.  Gabriel is eating them up; Hannah seems more interested in her mp3 player (though I'm sure I could Halloween-theme that, too).

I'm thinking about taking a day or two of vacation in October just to enjoy the season, the quiet, the cold, the rain.  Fresh coffee for me and hot chocolate for the rest, some reading downtime - sounds really good right about now.

I think your sentiments about rain and clouds and the coming of autumn are not so rare in this region as you may think. ;)

Thanks, Jaeyde. Good to hear others share my sentiments.

Me, too. So why did I spend all day inside, mostly at my computer?
