For Today...

03 - November -'08

Outside my window...

Fallen leaves reflect the warm glow of a nearby

street lamp over the ground...

reverberating solitude.

I am thinking...

I've been away for such a long period of time

here in Bloggyland...

where does one begin to share again?!

From the kitchen...

The smell of freshly brewed chocolate cappuccino

... help yourself.

I am wearing...

jeans, ls brown tee layered with a seedling fleece,

Nothing at this very moment...

Hope to accomplish a card design using a new

paper punch that will be delivered by

week's end or sooner.

I am going...

to strive to be productive in my accomplishments...

like I did in my twenties

... at least this week.

I am hearing...

Someone getting an early start to their day.

I am hoping...

To make headway on the v-a-s-t project that lay

before me today!

Around the house...

A load of clothes to be folded, one for the dryer and another

to be thrown in...

One of my favorite things...

Autumn's...

vibrant hues of color, smell of hardwood smoke curling from a chimney,

good smells... such as apple and pumkin from the oven,

rustling of fallen leaves, warmth of a favorite sweater,

another Halloween & Thanksgiving celebration

... yet the passing of another season.

A few plans for the rest of the week...

Amongst the usual daily rigors...

continued success with weeding and re-organizing

the vast accumulation of clutter thrust out of

no where...
