musings . . .

ending of the midwest summer is upon us. I do not miss the
temps of 100 degrees plus. humidity, no thanks. I'd much rather
have a couple of layers on with no humidity and a crisp autumn
fresh air chill to the night air.


tonight I hung out with friends in St. Louis and enjoyed the tunes
of the Grateful Dead as played by the band Jakes Leg. good musicians.
Venice Cafe garden was open, soon there will be bonfires when the
fall shift moves us all closer to early winter.  October is one of my
favorite months.  autumn is here. fleeting. temporary and beautiful.

Early Autumn musings . . . . .

. . . . . .every year after the summer's hot and humid weather has driven me indoors
to escape the extreme temps, I  look forward to the cooler drier air and gorgeous
golden light of autumn.  I think that this is my favorite  season.  I love the springtime as well,
but there is something special about the season's change that runs deep in my soul.
the crisp clean air and colorful leaves . I am grateful to be able to experience one more
autumn in the midwest. my heart feels happy .

labor day weekend-

this summer is the 4th hottest on record .

weather disasters this entire year seem to have amped up a bit.
lots of snow.  flooding. wind /dust storms. cyclones , drought,
excessive heat.  my heart goes out to the many who've been victims
of storms, flooding, etc.
