"
All I could see from where I stood
Was three long mountains and a wood;...
...So with my eyes I traced the line
Of the horizon, thin and fine...
The sky, I thought, is not so grand;
I 'most could touch it with my hand!
And reaching up my hand to try,
I screamed to feel it touch the sky.
I screamed, and--lo!--Infinity
came down and settled over me..."
(-- from Edna St Vincent Millay's poem "Renascence")
"How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!" (--John Muir)

Yup--
It's here:
It's fall. The weather's getting cooler, and the trees are just bursting with flaming color. It's definitely my favorite time of year, for making apple pies and apple crisp. I'm heading home and plan to get right at it for the weekend, since I will be in my own kitchen! 
Have a great weekend, all! Enjoy the brisk fall weather!

Well, this Libra is turning 55 on Friday!
How'd that happen!? Seems like just yesterday I was about 8.
I remember once when my mom had a birthday in her late 70's, I asked her how she felt, and she said "I feel like I'm 25!" I remember we both laughed, and I said "Well, I've gotta' say, you don't really look 25!" But isn't that wonderful that she felt so young. That's what's important, I think.
I'm definitely at an age where I'm comfortable in my own skin.

Have a great weekend, all!
As for me, I'll be flying to Eugene, Oregon tomorrow, and then taking a meandering drive to northwestern California this weekend.
