on autumn fog & a lullaby of rain








Today was a day of fog & rain, of nature's beautiful decay, of dampness that chills your core and awakens something primal deep within. Today was the first day I've worn a touque since April, the first day since the Spring that my fingers had to dig for warmth in my pockets. I left for my walk to work an hour early and took the extra 45 minutes to capture a moment in an ever changing world.

There's something about the rain and fog that makes me feel more alive. I think it must be the native Pacific NorthWest part of me for while I find energy in this moody tranquility everyone else complains of it's settlement into our little farm town. All I can do is hope it stays so that I can keep falling asleep to the sound of raindrops pounding on the window, the familiar lullaby carrying me away.

  2. I love fall rains. I sleep better, I feel better - they are kinda comforting. Just going out in galoshes and enjoying nature is the highlight of the season.

  6. Lovely post! I could certainly identify with so many of your feelings here, being nestled in the Northeast. Gotta love these gray autumn mornings! I love how vibrant your leaves are, though.

    Warm Regards,
