On the brink...

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day!  This year is different for me.  I have always looked forward to Autumn and the change of seasons that is so beautiful in the midwest. But this year is not the same for me.  I think it is because we , for the most part, escaped the endless procession of summer days with drenching humidity.  Yes, we had a descent Summer with dry warm days and sometimes even cool.  So the yearning for a cooler change is not as strong within me as it normally is.  Even though Labor Day reminds us that we are on the brink of a change before too long….at least in the Midwest we still have some Summer days to build memories before the winds and grays of late fall settles in.

Oh for humidity and the smell of fresh cut grass

Ok....I know it is only January, I know in Australia it is summer right now, I know in Florida it may be in the 60's, But how about the Midwest?  I woke up, looked outside and went back to sleep to dream of the late afternoon last summer when I watched the free spirits of youth swinging on the perfect tree, with the musty smell of cut grass at the end of an 85 degree day.

I have never wanted to travel into the future to see what is in store but I long to travel to the past....reliving the best moments of my life.  I guess I just have a hard time dealing with reality.  High of 16, not a color out my window other than brown.
