Fall-ing
Saturday, October 10, 2009
Do you believe it? The crisp, cool days of fall are here. I am still on the go--photo shoots and pet sitting. I was gone last weekend, Thursday, and I am now pet sitting until Wednesday.
In the meantime, it looks like the wine bar will be open in a month, ready or not. More details to come---there are some good things and not-as-good things, as there are with all ventures. I have A LOT of work to do. For instance, friends and I will have breakfast tomorrow morning and then pick up the main part of the bar-to-be in their truck. I'll add legs and refinish it. I'm in the current now and will be going over the falls soon.
At least all of this traveling around has allowed me to see some of the seasonal changes, if not to photograph them. Since much of the foliage on the coast is evergreen, there isn't terribly much color as in New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania. But there are some colors in the hills and pumpkins and squash at the farm stands. There has been little rain here, so the skies have been deep blue and the morning and late day light golden.
Autumn seems like such a short season--one month, really. Summer extends into September, and I've seen snow fly by Halloween. I have such fond memories of this season with its fresh air and sweaters and comfort food and, of course, the first of the Charlie Brown trilogy, "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown." Today, in this pooch's (Zeke's) backyard, cones and moss and peanut shells (?!) are falling from the tall, tall evergreens--signs of a gentler season before downed twigs, branches and power lines announce the arrival of winter.
