it's still grey and damp, also cold. feeling like the approach of winter. this time change always puts me a little out of things for a week or two. dark so early, the urge to hibernate. and no hibernation possible. coming home this afternoon i noticed how the remnants of color in the yard stand out against the grey sky. the crysanthemums: deep red, bronze, gold, deep pink, still vibrantly blooming; asters and some salvias still going; even the geraniums, different pinks, deep reds, still with color; and the crape myrtles, what leaves were left after Isabel, are bright torches of all the autumnal hues. i need to clean out so much that is finished, get started mulching up leaves, get things into the greenhouse. we've had one frost already, the really tender things turned black after that. soon frosty nights will be the norm.
have spent some time here today journeying through blogs, always discovering new ones. i need to do some blogroll work, group some things together under one link again, when i can find the time. i could have an infinite blogroll, the constant discovery of new sites is my favorite part of this activity. having many interests is both a joy and a drawback, looking at political analysts and commentors, writers and poets, naturalists and gardeners, spirtual thinkers, and all those entirely sui generis bloggers takes me spinning through universe after universe.
so, now i must get ready to race off to my evening class. no deep thoughts, no outrage, no insight. kind of low key, grey, muted....a late october feeling.
watch Whoopi tonight, she's a good laugh. with a political underbite that i love. i'll tape it to watch when i get home.

Yes, the Whoopster is a lot of fun!! Also agree about swiming in all those blogs out there. Meeting new people is the highlight of the Internet for me. So many people and we're all so much alike, yet different. Amazing. :)
That Happy Chica,
