Wherein we photographed the auroras (after the VH networking sesh which was wonderful, but also sensory overload for me), swoon worthy sunsets and sunrises. Voted early. Sugared up the little goblins. The balloon guy flew by. Had to get the brakes and rotors done on the car. Tried two new recipes from NYT. And we celebrated my 61st twirl around the sun with Indian food that my son bought. He also gave me an adorable pair of cat socks. As we dive into the dark season that feels longer than it actually is (52 days until the daylight begins to lengthen), it's time for the LED candles, good books, yummy soups, cozy blankets, warm socks, fingerless gloves and fireplace-friday.
Note to self: I took a moment before my morning commute to photograph the lake fog, and while I don't remember the rush of the day that followed, I remember only the stillness of that moment, the coolness of the air, and the nearby crow. I must be diligent about balancing my workload with more moments of stillness, of sky watching and lake time.
