squeequegWent for a walk today with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thomascantor, out in the bright pretending-to-be-October day. Since his schedule's getting even more crammed, we thought we'd grab this chance to just walk out in the sunlight. Maybe we didn't have much of a foliage season per se due to the rain and the other rain and the what the hell snow last Saturday, but the foliage that remains is bright and beautiful. The air smelled faintly of smoke and was cool but not cold enough for me to need a jacket. One maple tree had turned brilliant gold and dropped a dozen leaves on us (and then more as a very startled squirrel scrambled up into the branches).
And now I've come home with a new notebook in hand, some writing already done and more to do if I wish it, beef stew in the slow cooker filling the house with rich savory scent, and the promise of cornbread should I choose to make some.
As I toldthomascantor, I am not ready for winter. But right now I'm not sorry that summer is gone.

Date: 2005-11-06 02:50 am (UTC)My weekend's been full of research and unexplained brightnesses, like kicking up leaves; my mom just sent me a photo of the trees in the side yard labelled "morning in Lorien". Yay.
