Some rain, a lens of gray and Pooh Bear. It's a blustery day here on the mountain. Or what a small city girl like me would call a seven minute drive up a hill. It's gorgeous out today, with the wind holding high court, the sparrows all hard core, still at the feeder that sways lightly.
This is my first day home without Humanling, as she is in school, and my Grádhán, who is at work right now. (Grádhán being Gaelic for Beloved).
Yesterday my honey and I had the day off together, our first real stretch of time alone for awhile. And we spent the day in as many luxuries as we could possibly cram into a work day! Although it's only September, we are regularly tending the fireplace now, as we surprisingly have been since late August. My mom claims the weather is going to be really warm the next few days, which would most likely make mon aimee very happy since he will want the car top down.
I on the other hand, really do enjoy slightly cooler weather. Step dog gets his walk from me at high noon as long as my blood is not boiling up against my pores. Otherwise he gets the "Hurry up and do your business" look until his daddy comes home and puts the sweat in.
Last night I felt the most amazing feeling of perfection. Mon aimee sat on the (not so) far end of the loveseat with his back against the arm. I sat opposite him, both of us, legs stretched out, surrounding each other. The fireplace was going close by, the wine was wonderful as he read his paper, and me, a book by Jim Fargiano, who will be my guest on the show this week.
I am still in awe as to how life can change and take you where you never even thought about going. Sometimes you just can't be afraid to take that ticket when its offered to you.
