Firelight, Firelight, Firelight Gleaming
"I like misty Autumn mornings,
and cold, snowy Winter nights.
Rainstorms bring me inner-peace,
thunder sets my soul alight.
I care not for Summer,
days too long, the heavy heat.
Give me candlelight evenings,
early darkness, a silent street."

Every Time a Till Rings ...
Aw, I'm not just having a go at you, I'm making fun of me too ... We all know consumerism & American holidays are snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be, so we may as well get something back for it, right?

Racing the Rain
As I sat in the dark morning hours listening to the fog horns from the passing cargo ships blow through my sleepy little bay, all I could think about was the rain mere hours away (that won't stop until next May June July). This piece of information has had me in quite a state ... You know when something vibrates so fast that it appears to be still? That's pretty much how I spent this entire past week. I am working my way through my massive to-do list, but my head is whirring and zinging, and even though things are getting done, it doesn't really look, or feel like it. The most potentially paralyzing aspect of this week, as I feel myself slipping into the comfy coping mechanism of procrastination, has been that this isn't even my end-of-season to-do list, this is just all the junk that needs to get done now because I don't have a garage, or barn, or lean-to, or even a SunSetter retractable awning to work under during the swiftly approaching deluge. I still have my to-do list, the one full of all the things that can be done in the rain that I am already completely dreading. I'm trying to finish the season strong so I have as few of the rainy day tasks as possible, but I know I'm still going to spend at least part of this Fall as a drowned rat.
