beachlassI just came home from driving my daughter to work.
I shed my woolen scarf and suit jacket, because just now it's warm enough in the last bit of golden afternoon sun to be out in the yard in bare arms. I stopped at the volunteer squash patch, which has taken over part of the side yard, and rummaged through the prickly leaves until I found another three squash. They're longed necked, golden and green, sometimes spiky things, little decorative ones.
Threaded my way through the piles of discarded lumber still littering the yard from taking down the back deck. Around a togaggon and boogie board, past an old snow shovel. Just before I made it to the garden patch, to gather up a handful of herbs and some late tomatoes for supper, a flight of geese lifted off from the resevoir behind the trees. The honking pulled my gaze up to the sky and there they were, brash and beautous against the sky, forming three vees.
The sun was warm on my face and arms, the geese were lifting up above the orange and red maples and my hands were full of squash I hadn't even planted.

Date: 2008-10-10 01:46 pm (UTC)I was SO excited this week when I was in a planning meeting, and we went to set the next meeting date and it was in January. And my calendar was blissfully empty. Because from here through December everything looks really busy.
