Sock Season

September 12, 2009September 12, 2009 ~ Kath Thompson

Kate Sholonski of joyfulleadership.com just posted on Facebook that it was the beginning of sock season.

Sadly, I fear she’s right. In fact I know she’s right because I had mashed potatoes for dinner tonight and I WANTED mashed potatoes for dinner tonight.

And this past week I had SOUP for lunch. Yeah. Soup.

And as I am writing this? I am eating …a ginger snap.

I went to Wegman’s today and the Halloween stuff is all queued up in the seasonal aisle. (Two words: Candy Corn)

The food season is shifting away from food eaten with the fingers and chewed off of sticks (kabobs and toasted marshmallows) to food on spoons.

And you know what else? Today I exchanged my madras (summer)comforter for my velvet one.

And you know what else? Today I poured a glass of room temperature inky zinfandel for dinner instead of an ice cold Stella.

And last week I made popcorn. Popcorn.

What’s next I ask you?? Fire?? Fire??

I love yoga. Teaching and doing. I like to write, but I want to edit much more. Tragically, in order to have something to edit, you have to write something first. I try to scribble 1K words a day in Scrivener. I like wine. My favorite thing in life is having great conversations. I love to share ideas. Good conversation is becoming a lost art, though. If I don't do some yoga, meditate, and read and write every day, things really fall apart. I wish I would post on this blog more regularly. I'm going to work on that. View all posts by Kath Thompson

I put an extra quilt on the bottom of the bed last night, turned off all the fans, no AC and even closed the window. It is chilly out, that’s for sure but I think this damp cold mess will pass and the sun will come back for a bit longer! Don’t give up hope just yet!!!!

When camping we always have a night time fire, but the last two mornings have started with a morning fire as well. Felt great, though by noon we were kayaking peeled down to short sleeves.

Kathleen,
Mashed potatoes, Soup, Ginger Snaps, velvet comforters, now, why would you be sad?. Comfy socks…delightful. Crispy, cool days, and clear blue September skies (hopefully)…Mother Nature’s best. Enjoy.
C.

I put vegetable beef soup….yes, soup, in the crock pot this morning before I left for work! And, I have worn socks to bed for the last week, with the air conditioner still running, mind you.
