Autumn is a second spring, when every leaf is a flower.

I Love Fall.

We build bonfires and sit around them, telling stories and singing songs.

The sun falls on (not-green) leaves, shining through them and turning them to stained glass.

We eat hot soup out of a mug, with triangles of buttered toast and warm, spiced cider.

The cold weather forces us all to bundle in cute jackets and colorful scarves.

The skies are clear and bright blue, a beautiful contrast to the (not-green) leaves.

So...

I haven't written. At all. Not a line. Not a word. Not a syllable.

But now? I will write. Because I feel like it. No other reason. Really.

1. I fell down the stairs a few days ago (my shoes were really slippery and I was in a hurry, okay?), and I thought that I had sprained my ankle or something, so I took some 5-Loxin and grabbed an icepack, and went to bed. And when I woke up? No sprain! Happiness!

2. I went to Wilmington last week, and saw people that I haven't seen since July, and even though I have not been away from them long enough to merit my missing them so much, I did miss them, and I was really glad to see them.

3. I have grown inexplicably fond of Diane Rehm. And she's on vacation. And somehow...I miss her. I miss a radio personality.
I could play the homeschool card, and say that since I spend a lot of time at home, I just get used to hearing NPR in the background CONSTANTLY, and that's why I miss Diane, SO SUE ME.
But I won't do that.

4. Now it's AUTUMN! I get to wear long pants and cute jackets and 80's leggings and pretty gloves! For lack of a better word (even though I have the entire Internet plus a thesaurus at my fingertips), yay.

5. Yay.

6. Yay.

7. I hope you're all doing really well.
