A look out my window on a sunny September 1st
It's so odd that spring is starting here. It's really messing with my mind. I'm happy though. It's sunny but still so cold outside, and inside for that matter. This morning I could see my breath. I hope it gets a little warmer while I'm here. Maybe warm enough to not wear leggings under my jeans and 3 layers under my coat. That's all I'm asking. All I want here are my uggs! I just want to put them on and be warm. I think I'm going to have to break down and go get some wool socks and an alpaca sweater this weekend. All the students are saying that's the way to go. But back to September. I have to say September is probably my favorite month. Noo not just because it's my birthday month! Last year I discovered a new found love for fall which I'm definitely missing this year. In Ellensburg fall is so pretty. The leaves change color and you get to start wearing sweatshirts and drinking hot cocoa. Mmmmm. I just started dreaming of christmas the other day. I might be jumping the gun a little but I was dreaming of those days before Christmas when mom and I do our last minute shopping and there's snow in the parking lots and the streets light up really early. I can't wait for that time. On the plane ride back I'm going to be listening to Christmas music all the way home.
I'm having a hard time staying focused on September. It's super pretty here, it has been since I arrived. The trees are all blossoming and I love it. In Wenatchee I feel like that part only lasts for a week or so but here it goes on forever and ever (maybe not but I feel like I've been here a year already). In honor of the new month, this is what September means to me:
Spring
Español
Peace
Twenty-one
Effort
Memories
Bicentennial
Experiences
Rain
Just think: when you can finally get into a pair of jeans without leggings on you will feel as if you went on an instant diet.
ReplyDeleteYour post is awesome today. Very nestalgic (sp?) and beautifully written. Wish I had a talent for words. Sure wish I were there with you and we could once again go for long walks around the town, eat at our favorite place, snack on nuts 4 nuts, drink really bad coffee and shop....
