A free association list of thoughts and goings on lately:
- We enjoyed a delicious dinner with friends Friday night at a favorite restaurant. (smoked trout crostini; oysters; apple & pecan salad; roasted shiitake ravioli; chocolate rum mousse)
- We've been taking many walks; the color this year is blazing. The maples are crazy spectacular. Yesterday, a hawk swooped full-winged right above us. It missed it's target prey, a chattering squirrel. I think we deterred it.
- Autumn is my favorite.
- We're engrossed in watching a series called The Killing. The story is more interesting than the title suggests.
- My nightly ritual includes a cup of hot red chai tea with agave and cream.
- Today I started writing in my actual journal again. I'm trying a daily thankful list and hope I can keep it going.
- Last week I turned a year older and I like my new number.
- Arcade Fire's new album is in heavy rotation.
- The city is hanging the holiday lights downtown today. I was standing in a shop and could hear the tinkling sound of the strands brushing the concrete before being wrapped around a tree.
- I love wearing layers; scarves, sweaters, and blazers. Again, autumn is my favorite.
- Soon I want to self-publish a small booklet of my drawings and am in the initial stages. Any interest out there for such a thing?
