Oktoberfest

well, since it is the end of october, i thought i should try to get one post in. free time is somewhat of a commodity these days as steph and i work on the house to get it ready for move-in.

i've always loved october. weather just cool enough to need a jacket, but not so cold it bites. the red, yellow, and orange of the leaves. apple cider, pumpkin beer, and ginger snaps. hayrides, halloween, and high school sports.

it is the russet season, the harvest time. the soil prepares itself for rest, and we prepare ourselves for winter - the grey season. a season of coldness, of hardness, but yet a season of hope. and we are reminded now in a season of plenty, that though the hard days are before us, they also bring us the hope of humanity.

cheers.
