I just can't get over how quickly the summer had whizzed by. It's already mid September and the leaves have started their annual pilgrimage to the ground...by the time I've blinked it'll be October and the preparations for thanksgiving will be in full swing and I'll be battling the cold to set up my halloween display.
As it is we're already trying to figure out when we need to get outside and hang the Christmas lights on the house...it's not that we wish to turn them on early or anything. I just have this aversion to doing it in the cold. A throw back to having to do it December 1st with my dad growing up. I remember thinking "why didn't we do this when it was warmer?" So now as an adult I insist on not freezing my finger off and doing it before the cold hits.
Lately though the joy the autumn usually brings had been conspicuously absent from my life. I feel a heavy weight settling instead. Maybe it's because I know that at best I only have another month before the population at me feeders dwindles to house sparrows and Starlings. Or maybe it's symptomatic of other things...like my extreme hatred of people. Hermitville here I come.
