blooming

You know how weather feels familiar? This morning felt like that. Warm, sun-dappled, fresh. October never comes on this gently in our valley, but I'm a fan. Southern Oregon. That's what came to mind...and it has been decades since I have lived autumn there.

Cue memories of zooming to North Valley High School on Monument Drive in my blue 1985 Chevy Chevette hatchback to the tunes of They Might Be Giants and Tom Petty. *sigh*
