Fall in

Finally I made it to Day Off plus a quick n earlier sundown by the cove.

Yellow weed wildflowers before the D-bridge highlight more yellow accents of sunlight bouncing off the posts, plus a cottage's bright yellow door behind them.

The vines near the edge of the water, which are always first here, started to turn red already.

 We've had a few very cool nights. I broke down n finally closed some of the windows at night, n found a clean throw blanket to sleep with. I picked n ate some beets today, n found a few stubby carrots for tomorrow. I washed my dusty slippers, n will want something warmer to wear around the house than the flip flops soon probably.

 It's tough only getting one Day Off this week. I crammed as much into the day as possible, n hope I didn't forget any important errand items.


I like that second day best to cook n tie up loose ends. Also I feel more like writing n playing instruments. I'm not yet recovered from my soreness n have to work again, plus put in another 6 days in a row.

For 911 I didn't get to do any of my normal things this year. No post, no pics, story, or poem, no time to stop to light a candle n pray, n no movies to watch. That didn't stop me from still feeling the emotional mourning from that traumatic event all day tho. Ignoring it's commemoration in complacency just isin't an acceptable option for me. I can't believe it's been 11 years already- seems like a blink ago.

The summer weather tho, seemed to last a very long time this year...

Guess it's all a matter of perception n focus. The sunset had no remarkably unique cloud accents. But it was still beautiful to witness in it's simplicity.
