for today

for today...

outside my window... 55F/cloudy @ 8am

i am thinking...  the hummingbirds are ready to depart

i am thankful for... Indian Summer

i am wearing... black jeans, thermal shirt & Birkenstocks

i am going... for my annual physical

i am currently reading... the Sept & Oct issues of Martha Stewart Living

i am hoping... to find enough tomatoes for a batch of tomato jam

on my mind... gas @ $3.11/gallon, milk @ $2.55/gallon, butter @ $2.99/lb

pondering these words... "when the goldenrod is yellow, and leaves are turning brown -

reluctantly the summer goes, in a cloud of thistledown;

when squirrels are harvesting and birds in flight appear -

by these autumn signs we know September days are here."
