So instead, I share with you the following photos from my Columbus Day weekend. I got drunk on fall.

It is appropriately cool here in Buffalo but with a bright blue sky it is near impossible to stay inside. It gets dreary fast so I’m planning on a long walk after Sean and I make dinner tonight.

I read this quote about fall today, and it spoke to me as both a homeowner and a project-starter. Some might find it dark but I like the honesty. I welcome the excuse to put some chores–and even some former hopes–to bed.

“I love the fall. I love it because of the smells that you speak of; and also because things are dying, things that you don’t have to take care of anymore, and the grass stops growing.” – Mark van Doren, poet.

The photo to the right is of my office last November, the neighbor’s tree full of bright yellow leaves.
