autumn joy

Can I just tell you that I am so happy that it's Fall now? Thank you, vernal equinox, and your lovely evenness of day and night. This is my favorite season. I think partly because I'm a school nerd, and I love it. I miss school especially at this time of year. May? not so much. But September? yes. I drive through the urban campuses of two major universities to get to Ellis's speech therapy on Thursdays. Kills me every time. Someday I'll get to sit in libraries again.... Anyway, moving on.

This summer I was so glad that there were no major life changes. Then fall comes, and we up and get ready to move. Next week. Into a rowhouse in the city. I am so excited. We're still renting, but it will be such an improvement in our quality of life. We'll be able to walk to Ellis's school. Have enough space to live sanely. Maybe even have people over, since there will be enough room to put them around a table. Not to mention that we just love living in the city. And a rowhouse is just so Philadelphia. So we're surrounded by boxes. To-do lists swarm my brain, but I actually don't feel stressed that much.

I have high hopes for fall. Color is befalling the trees. A new start with new creativity. A fresh look at my boys. Pumpkin pie. Can't wait. Philly is so beautiful in the fall. I really think it's this city's best season.
