You're very, very welcome.). Also, possibly, no more white gloves, but no one but maybe Brooke Astor ever cared about that in about fifty years.
- It's still tomato season for a few more weeks.
- There are still peaches.
- Awesome walking and bike-riding weather for several weeks.
- Sweaters.
- Less swamp cooler usage.
- Also, time to send out your manuscripts again! If you have manuscripts, send them out--it's time!
- Sleep with more covers on, which for some reason, I always find terribly comforting.
- Pumpkin pie is in your future.
- More baking in general.
- Every season that passes is an index for how much closer I am--you, too!--to old age, decrepitude, and death.

It's all good.
i love fall, for all these reasons and more. and i don't love the heat of summer. it's all victory from this point on in the year.
ReplyDeleteM-m-m-m-m. Pumpkin pie in my future. I love my future.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a sin that tomatoes are only on for such a relatively short time? Oh and happy belated b-day, btw.
