Summer's Swan Song
Today...
Raining, pouring, cold, being out in the damp, getting soaked to the skin coming in to an actual fire, my love's arms wrapped around me, taking a hot shower together...drying off...crying with the enormity of love I have in my heart for this man, for this our life together...
Yesterday...
Taking K~ to the 'Feast' down in Little Italy, going to mass together as a family, worshipping in an Italian church, in an Italian neighbourhood, with the smells of Italian cooking wafting in from outside and all the nostalgia that brought with it - missing my mom (as always)...
Lately...
I've been watching as summer (thankfully) is giving me the opportunity for a long goodbye - the days getting shorter, the nights getting cooler, watching the moon's passing phases, rejoicing in the austere beauty of the shining stars and planets on the horizon as the summer sky begins to shift; the children getting ready for school; we, as a couple are heading into our second fall and winter together and afterwards, we will head into the spring again, beginning the whole cycle with the crowning glory of our wedding in those first glorious days of June...

This is a weird time of year. Summer is getting pretty long in the tooth. Autumn hasn't yet arrived, although there's hints of it on the wind. I usually like this time of year.
