Ooooh

Two in one day- how bored am I?

So as I was sleepily wandering out to my car to go to work this morning, I suddenly noticed that it is fall. It may still be in the 80's, but the breeze is cooler and the leaves are falling off all the trees. It just seems so sudden- usually it is much more gradual. I love fall- it's my second favorite season. I miss fall in NY though- we have the aspens and they're beautiful, but nothing beats a forest of maples in reds and golds. Maybe I will have Dave send me some leaves or pictures or something. I miss New York. And subconsciously, because I associate fall with Dave, it makes me miss him as well. And this is starting to sound like an entry I wrote about this time last year- figures.

I've never associated fall with death and decay, even though that's basically what is going on. Maybe it's the attraction of going out with a bang. :) I associate death with summer, probably because everyone I've ever loved died in the summer, not in any other season. Strange how the brain works sometimes.
