mother nature is taking her own sweet time but the high today is predicted to be only 81. the difference between a spring 81 and a fall 81 is about 20• of humidity but soon MN will drop the dew levels and all will be right with my world. i will order a load of seasoned wood and stash it until january. there are thoughts of fires dancing in my head. wood smoke. colored leaves. flannel lined jeans, sweatshirts, roasted marshmallows. a snap in the air. open windows, long walks, bike rides. ok, so most of that was my childhood but it brings a certain yearning just the same. so happy first day of fall.
and then there is this little snippet of the day from a conversation with Lee about taking her to her first checkup tomorrow morning. the fight is about whether or not we can cram her and her booted foot into little red:
Lee: Yes to the wheelchair. Are your shoulders and back OK to push me?
Me: Of course I can push. And if you misbehave, I think there is a pond the chair would fit into perfectly.
Lee: I know you wouldn't push me in the pond because you'd cave under pressure. The cop would say, "Did you push her in the pond?" and you'd say, "Yes, yes I did. But she wouldn't shut her damn mouth and she's stubborn!"
happiness is a certain amount of lunacy among friends.
