It is SO fall here. Everything's beautiful and colouring and it's grey and raining and galeing.
Mm.
The Rural Expo was awesome. I won't go into detail, but it was amazing. Pygmy goats, horses, pumpkins, and apples...fabulous quilts, tractor squaredancing, lots of great Ottawa Valley music...and the smell! A mix of woodsmoke, cooking sausage, boiling maple syrup, animals, and autumn air. If I could have bottled it I would have.
Took it easy yesterday. Walked with the dog and read a book. I miss walking in the woods. I miss being woken up by 40 calling crows, and talking with them back and forth as I wander under yellowing birch. I stood out on the dock, leaning on the wooden precipice as the grey-blue river spread before me. I watched the darkening water flow past for a while, and then went back to the house. I will be spending lots of time out in the "yard" - Grandpa cut a new path back around it, and built a little bridge I have to go see. I fell asleep listening to the wind rushing through the trees and the rain pattering through the leaves.
Mm.
Anyway, I don't plan to be here online more than I just was - I have things I can be doing. Having dinner with Dad tonight, seeing my best friend again, maybe walking around town poking through shops or something. I hope everyone's well. I'm doing fine.
