This NaBloPoMo is *definitely* becoming my favorite form of procrastination! I *really* need to get my next Life Afloat up, and instead I'm playing here. Since I've been using the writing prompts during the week, I think I'll use weekends to catch you up on what my ordinary life is being like, these days - if I can think of things that aren't duplicating stuff I've written for L.A.
It's really feeling autumnal - the trees are shades of rust and subtle gold, the days are bright and cool and dry and the nights are snuggly. We spent the morning at a "winterize your boat" seminar, and it really brought home to me - the season is winding down.
The other way we can tell autumn is coming on - we're craving soup. That's okay, we're cooking at home again, something we didn't do all summer, and enjoying just working together, getting into each others' rhythm. We're nostalgic for the old days when we lived in Colorado and the menus were almost always some kind of homemade bean soup/stew, fresh bread, and dark beer. I'm not sure if I miss those days, so much as I miss who I was then - younger of course, and we spent every weekend exploring the mountains, hiking or backpacking or canoeing. It was a golden time.
