Fall leaves

Fall in Ohio

Well, the leaves have mostly fallen off the trees. JT spent the past few weeks trying to earn money by raking leaves with his friends. They are now looking forward to snow with the hope that they will earn even more money that way.

The autumn leaves are always gorgeous. I love the red ones that are almost iridescent, and I love the multitude of colors and the layers of shapes and shades. We had a good fall with many sunny blue sky days (at least for Ohio). I am sure many will disagree and complain about the weather, but there were enough good days for me, and more than we often see.

I can't imagine living somewhere I couldn't see, hear and smell this season.

walking down the street again...

Well, I can't believe it's been months since I last posted. Life has transitions after transitions - I have been through a series of changes since I last posted. But at the moment I am treading water. I cannot get it together to do the multitude of things which will bring closure to any of the things I need to bring closure to. So the list sits there and depresses me further.

But I read an article which was talking about the value of blogging in helping people to cope with cancer, and blogging to help cope with stress, and it occurred to me that I could start blogging again.

The title of this post is a reference to the teaching tale (poem?) which is I think titled or subtitled "Autobiography in Five Short Chapters," about walking down the street and falling into the hole and taking forever to get out and walking down the street again and falling in again and taking forever to get out again, and eventually it ends by walking down a different street.
