This never faltering cycle of mine
Posted on | October 8, 2010 | 1 Comment
Lately I've been breathing in the autumn air, filling my days with thoughts on decor and aromatic pumpkin treats. I'm giving this whole autumn thing a chance. I'm even having an 'autumn themed' housewarming party at the end of the month; very Martha Stewart if I do say so myself.
But you need to know one thing about autumn and I - we've never had a good relationship. She's cold and wet, always bringing loss and reminders of what's to come. Perhaps it's my days in Michigan that started this tedious relationship of ours. But here I am, playing along.

i am loving every bit of your martha stewartness!! as soon as we got back from our trip, there was a pottery barn catalogue waiting and i thought of you!! tell me, does anything seem more divine than a faux sheepskin tree skirt? i mean, not one that costs anywhere near $100 (c'mon PB!) but maybe i can find me a makeshift one :)
i think extending an olive branch to autumn is very big of you :) and i always think of it as shedding all of the year's troubles/frustrations/etc...kinda like the trees losing their leaves. as for the reinventing..girl, i've got no clue. last night i made pumpkin pie because i just had to. it was the best part of my day and got my mind off of all of everything.
i know i always say it but i figure it's always worth saying :) we'll have our own little pumpkins someday. who knows why this path has to be so friggin hard. who knows why people who will be the best parents are denied that. i just have to believe we will have our chance.
love you!!
p.s. and i'll email you later, i haven't forgotten! :)
