Autumn

I spent this past weekend camping in Flat Rock, North Carolina. We had a lot of fun at the Flat Rock Music Festival. I'm home now and back at work. Last night I found myself feeling melancholy. The air changes when fall is here and it makes me feel a little sad. Not sure why, I love fall days, but nights and early morning seem to depress me. I sat on the patio yesterday afternoon with my dog Sparky and four of my 6 cats. We all just sat out there enjoying the crispness of the air and the slight breeze. The sun was shining and felt so good after all the rain we have been having. Yet, once darkness fell, the melancholiness set in. This morning was no better. It's no longer light outside when I get up, which is very depressing to me. It was 51 degrees and I just seem to have a hard time getting motivated in the dark. I need sunshine--lot's of sunshine. Perhaps I find fall sort of depressing because I know winter is right around the corner. Spring and summer are my months!!! Maybe it's time to start counting down till Spring. However, I don't want to wish my life away!!! I have another festival to go to this weekend. Haven't decided if I am going to camp or not. If it is raining, I am not camping. If it's nice, it should be good camping weather. Music will end at 11:00, so camping would be better than driving home, although it isn;t far from home--about an hour or so. I guess this will be the last festival of the season. There is one more the following weekend, butI don't think I can afford another one. wish I could. I do love camping at music festivals. We'll see. Still need to buy the part for the heater, so I need to budget my money accordingly. I will be going to homecoming at the University of West Alabama on the 30th of October. That should be fun. The alumni homecoming party is always fun. Probably won't do the football game. I suppose I need to quit rambling and get some work done.......................
