the blue muse

It smells like autumn.

I’m working my way through the garden, not quite ready to shut things down for the winter, but tidying up just the same.

Inside, I am doing the same, September has been a month of crossing things off my list, some of which have been on there all summer. It feels good to accomplish these small tasks, feels good to lift that tiny weight off my shoulders.

Of course, there will be new things added, soon, firewood to stack and storm windows to wash and close.

But not yet.

The sun is shining, the air is crisp, and my to-do list never manages to be finished.

And so I stop and sit and turn my face to the sky. Sunshine warms my shoulders and I am grateful for this moment.

Small blessings taste the sweetest.

Savor.

Wishing you a Wednesday filled with sunshine.
