Taking Stock

Taking Stock

fall has always been my favorite time of year, and not just because i was born in the fall!

because my birthday is four days before halloween, mom always made me a cake that was carved and frosted to look like a pumpkin.

i love...

the colors of fall.

the smell of fall.

the feel of fall.

i love the cool nights, the brisk winds, and the crunch of dead leaves underfoot.

it meant new pencils and tablets and erasers.

i have always loved to write.

cocoa with marshmallow melting on top.

early dark.

the new fall shows on tv.

it's been 46 years since i graduated from high school, and i still have dreams about being late for class or not having an assignment finished.

i think it's a good thing that i didn't go to college.

it would have been a huge waste of money.

i'm glad to be where i am... when i am... and with whom i am!
