Fly and Dance

4 November 2008 · Leave a Comment

Have you ever seen leaves brought up by the wind, away from their tree at a 45 degree angle, up over the telephone lines in a huge whirl, so that you thought the diamond-shaped wave was a flock of birds?

This morning looking out my kitchen window I was amazed to see so many birds flying together, swirling over the tops of a tree a couple blocks away. Then I realized they weren’t birds, they were leaves. I’ve never seen leaves fly and dance, over around and up like that.

What a beautiful day.

In election news, I am crossing my fingers, praying, standing on my head, and channeling every ounce of universal energy I can get my hands on to see Obama elected. If not I will cry and move out of the country.

In homefront news, Mr. A is having surgery Thursday on his knee for a torn meniscus.

With all the rain, wind, clouds, and increasing darkness I am i feel like I’m living in a dreamworld or fairytale. I just hope today has a happy ending.

you immediately assume that the round, off-white colored things in plastic bag on the table are bird eggs. Until you look closer and realize they’re for the foosball table.
