How Odd

I didn't have to work today. Equipment problems. It was odd being home and having no one here to come home to. I've had visitors for a week but they're all gone and it's interesting to me how quickly I got used to coming home and integrating others into my solitary life.

I finished my son's birthday present and put it in the mail this afternoon--his birthday is tomorrow. I can't believe he's older than me now. Amazing how that works. My life is just full of magic.

The stars were close last night here in paradise. Millions of them sparkling almost close enough to touch. No stars tonight. The weather is changing. Summer is gone and autumn is really here. This is the schizophrenic time of year when one day it will be hot and the next night there's a freeze warning and it's cold and time to break out the flannel shirts and wool socks and light the fireplace. Sort of like limping toward cold weather with two flat tires; getting there, but not really wanting to.
