September Comes And Goes

Monday, September 28, 2009

There are no more eighty degree days in the forecast, and the sky today has been equal parts sunshine and dull grey. It's been windy, and the crows and geese are all over the neighborhood, making an endless racket. The trees on the street are still green for the most part, but they look ready to change quite soon—and in certain places downtown, it is impossible to walk without crunching a leaf on every third step.

It's getting cold, but making a warm mug of coffee or tea, and opening some windows to let the cool breeze fly in inspires me to sit down and focus—be it on writing, mathematics, or what have you. On Sunday I drove with Kalie out to the country to visit my sister at the orchard where she works, and we picked apples, and drank fresh cider. I think we're going to pick pumpkins this weekend.

People complain about our winters, but man, I'll gladly take the snow, the ice, and the sleet if I have this season to throw open the windows, wear my favorite jeans, wool socks, and a sweater, and enjoy some piping hot chai.
