“I have done nothing all summer but wait for myself to be myself again.”
Georgia O’Keeffe
The calendar says it’s fall so I trust that Mother Nature will figure it out again soon. I feel more like myself in the fall than any other time of year and I’m ready for that feeling again.
Life is harder in the summer and I’m exhausted as the warmer weather hangs on, wearing out its welcome in September.
I’m ready for the world to be beautiful again. I’m ready for cool days, long hikes, flannels and the smell of campfire smoke. I’m ready for spooky books and cozy blankets, for hot chocolate and the sense that anything is possible because nature is showing us how beautiful it is to let things go.
I’m ready. Are you?
Yep. Fall is my favorite season. An end to the (pleasant) work of gardening and heading into a more leisurely time.
We’ve had some rain this week and the leaves are starting to turn. It finally feels more like fall and I am grateful.
PS- enjoy that leisure time!!!! I’m sure you’ll find a way to fill it.
Me too. This is the best time of the year.
