my pile of leaves

Maybe it is the nip in the air this morning or maybe it is my sweatshirt I am sporting today but I have never been so happy to see a season go bye bye before in my life.

This summer has been consumed by sweaty uncertainty.  I have never been so hot in my life and it wasn't always because of menopause.  It was those frantic heart palpitations about my life.

Now the leaves look a little dead (and IRENE probably had a lot to do with this) and there is a nip in the air.  Resumes are yielding phone calls and there is a touch of routine back in our lives.

The craziness has come with summer and gone with fall. 

The windows are open and there is a soft breeze in the house. 

I feel hope.  I feel optimistic.  Leaves are going to fall and rest and start anew in spring.  I totally feel like the drama in our home is over, fallen and rest and peaceful fall moments are here.

I am going to compile the biggest pile of leaves and jump in them for hours.  Come over and join me.
