Anticipation
Sure it's been another hot week, sure summer is going strong. But for me, I'm all eyes for the seasonal changes. September is a hopeful month. I like my drive to the new location for my babysitting gig. They moved to a bigger house last month and I was feeling all the sadness over the changes. I drive through corn fields and farmlands and the views are stunning. Everywhere I look while I am there is endless hills and quiet. I took the toddler girl for a walk and all I could hear were my feet crunching on the gravel road and cicadas in the distance. This week has been topsy turvy with stresses ebbing and receding. However, life is settling down again. Before I know it, we will be going to fall festivals and pumpkin festivals and fairs. I'm ready! I'm anticipating: soups, cinnamon everything, apples, cold breezes, wearing a touch of wool, hot beverages, more falling leaves, cozy evenings, sweatshirts, socks....oh I could go on.
