And now I understand - another year over, gone, never to be seen again; fewer years in front than behind....that whole mortality thing.<BR/><BR/>But a good cup of hot cocoa and a good book are always helpful.

And I love maples, much more than pin oaks.Suburban Correspondenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488916572135296650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093237880290981781.post-10356352056356633032007-10-30T10:56:00.000-05:002007-10-30T10:56:00.000-05:00wIt gives a whole new side of scary to Halloween. ...wIt gives a whole new side of scary to Halloween. That voice in the middle of the night never has anything positive to say in my experience. <BR/> Autumn is a beautiful time of year, but also a sad time, with so much dying and going dormant. I turn on lots of lights (electric bill be damned) and sit a moment in the sun whenever it is out and occasionally let myself wrap up in a down blanket and stay in for a day (and hope it doesn't turn into a week)<BR/>Hang on, and you can always drown out that middle of the night voice by repeating annoying song lyrics over and over and over...whether you want to or not.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336647207100402772noreply@blogger.com
