It's definitely fall out there. The sky is dark, the air is cold, and I know that snow will be falling soon, if not the leaves first. I will miss all the green. I love the summer time, with all its lushness and half naked bodies. Life gets so slow and bitter when winter gets here. Everything seems to lose its life and go into hibernation.
I am considering doing some hunting and trapping this year. Dad has been talking of it a lot lately and I think it will be good to go out and do things. I enjoyed trapping immensely as a young teen and I am sure I can get right back into it. I think if I combine that with some racquetball and staying in the gym I should be able to keep my spirits up this long, dark winter.
I shouldn't talk about lang dark winters, as my friends up in Alaska would just laugh at me. They know the true definition of long dark. I had no idea how extreme it was until I lived up there. There is absolutely no light in the winter and bitter cold is an understatement. I miss living among them, but I can't take that extreme. My body says Definitely Not!
Well I am off to mow a few yards, for what will surely be one of the last times of the season. I am sad to see it all go, but I know how much better that makes the spring in these parts. I have so much to do before the snow flies and little time to do it in. As granny Kyler from Squidbillies would say, "Lord, give me the strength to persevere!"
Good Day
