bite in the air

warm leather gloves

yesterday's brilliantly piercing sunset cast flames all across the valley

rustling through the leaves everywhere i go

watching our black kitten-now-cat mowgli stare up at the tree and pounce on any falling leaf he can anticipate

getting to the gym, starting a load of dishes and two loads of laundry and still managing a bit of me time before work this morning

the deep shade of blue of the morning sky playing backdrop to all sorts of sunkissed shades of green, yellow and red this morning

being able to head off to a job i actually enjoy and to work with people i enjoy being with
