Last steps of fall....

We are finally getting colors ... leaves are finally falling to the

ground... and it is dark by 5:30pm.. well dark enough. By 6

for sure.

Took the finally things off of the deck, today.. was trying to get a last cup of coffee ... one last one on the deck in the morning..but with the wind.. it is just too cold, so gave up the ship.

The tables and chairs are put away.. the wall art is

packed in the sheds.. the huge wind chime is in the living

room.. Only thing left out is two pots and a lot of my solar

lights.. still light the deck edge and lawn edge... along

with the kites still flying.

I know I have enough in the house to keep me busy for

the winter, but just not looking forward to it.. I need to

clean out my file cabinet.. I started last March, but did not

make a dent in it... and then there are some books I like to

read.  I got them 10 years ago, or was it more than 12 years

ago.. before I retired. I figured I would have more time, so

bought for later.. Funny, as that was before tablets like Nook

and alike.. but I still like the feel of a real book.

So as the sun sets with its reddish hue in the far distance.. I

feel sad that the warm days are less. And I know I will be

sleeping in more .. already started it.. My body is a day light

awareness, so no sun, no daylight...Cis is cuddled under the

warm covers with Misty... until the daylight comes thru the window at about 7:15am.  Long time after my summer rising at 5:30 to 6am...

Finally gave up the shorts, and back to long pants.. ah yes,

fall you are leaving us soon.. your leaves are turning faster,

and hitting the ground faster.  And the hint of snow up on

the ridge of the mountain. 

Looking out my windows..
