changing of the seasons

So, it's late August. There's the merest cooling in the air, and some dead leaves get shaken from the trees in a downpour. The back to school sales are in full swing, but the best deals are already gone. Have you been feeling the change to autumn? Been craving different foods, looking at brown-palette clothing and chunky sweaters? Are you still in school, and too busy getting ready to go back to have sentimental thoughts about this time of year?

As for me, I've been having the craving to start working through a large pile of e-books I've acquired. Been thinking about cleaning out my closet, too, and donating some clothes to the good will. While the weather remains nice, I'm going to try to spend as much time as possible outside; winter lasts for approximately four years in my neck of the woods, so I better get as much sun and warmth as I can.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Last night it was cold and windy, enough for me to close one window and leave the other one open only a crack. The feather comforter is on my bed; I wore a jacket when I went into work today.

The beginning of the end...

There's nowhere I can't reach.
