a few things

a few things must happen in the fall.

one is to clean out/reorganize the garage.  which i plan to do...this saturday.  morning.  in the morning.

another is to go to the symphony, or an organ recital...or a quartet or jazz ensemble.  i have found great concerts...but all of which i will be gone for.  ho hum.  i am sure i will be able to drum up something before the 23rd.  If needs be, my sister's and niece's piano recital could count for this, it was overly enjoyable.  I was so impressed.

a drive through the fall foliage.  my new-found friend from Iowa has inspired me a bit on this one.  gravel roads....i'll go find me a gravel road and follow it.  although i might have fulfilled this venture when a few weeks ago i drove up guardsman pass and back down one of the cottonwood canyons - i was on a gravel road for part of that.

plenty of time should be spent out of doors, absorbing all things sensory which are so abundant and penetrating this time of year.  and it needn't be in the campy kind of way either...just a walk down the avenue will suffice.

carving of a pumpkin.  you're never too old for that.  of course, i'll be gone for that as well. and the making of a really gourmet soup based from any assortment of squash.  maybe i'll have a soup party.

as the mornings come i am reminded again and again that we are getting deeper into the season.  my bird sings a little later these days.  the sun waits a little longer to rise up, making it harder to get out of bed and i just want to stay put.  sometimes i groan, and then think i'm ridiculous for whining.  and i am.  but at least no one can hear me.
