My Favorite Month

Things to be happy about:

  • Last night, it was smoky and cloudy and warm outside. Kyle and I went for a walk and I ate late-season blackberries. The bank of purple clouds was streaked with orange and pink.
  • It’s soup weather.
  • We go to Italy in less than two weeks.
  • I don’t have to water my garden because of the rain.
  • It’s apple weather.
  • Litquake starts on Saturday.
  • Our friends are giving us a real fridge, so I no longer have to use a fridge from the 1980s.
  • Most people look better in scarves and long-sleeves.
  • It’s book weather.
  • Leaves are starting to turn.
  • We lit a fire in our fireplace the other night.
  • Blankets.
