Things are looking up...

The last days of summer are fast approaching. By this time of the year, I am trying to squeeze as much summer fun out of the time I have left and I write many "odes to the summer."

But last night as we sat outside enjoying the cooling evening air, I noticed that I am looking forward to the changing season.

I look forward to the crisp evening air and the earthy smell that Autumn brings.

In my head, summer is done. Even though as I write this I am sun bathing with the Blues playing in the background.

A thin film of sweat has covered me and I'm pretty sure I smell like a fruit cocktail from the lotion I've hosed myself down with.

I look forward to snuggling up on the couch next to you with a fire in the fireplace.

I look forward to cooking and baking nummy things in the heart of our home - the kitchen.

I look forward to cold nights and a heavy down comfortor to keep us warm at night.

I look forward to shuffling my feet in mounds of leaves.

And I really look forward to wearing my boots.

Nope, you are right, following people home and chopping them up is the clown agenda,obviously.



I'm really looking forward to wearing my ugg boots and wearing big chunky knitted jumpers.
