byslantedlightI have been so lousy about posting to lj for months now, and I've decided that I'm going to take September as a sign that I need to make more effort - I'm going to see if I can manage a post each day of this month!
If nothing else I do like September, and it's gorgeous hints of autumn-to-come, which is probably my favourite season. Although I'm somehow not entirely convinced I've had summer this year - I don't mean heat (I'm quite happy for it to be a bit cooler), I just mean the glorious promise of adventure and exploration and... *sigh* It was nice to stay in my friend's caravan, and I'm lucky I had the chance, but I do miss road-trip type holidays!
But there are some very cool things coming up in September, so I shan't whinge too much. I was mostly at home working today, so the pics aren't too exciting, but I did get out for a wee walk, which looked like this...
I have moles! Very active moles... I'm a little worried the paving stones will cave in and bonk them on their burrowing little heads, mind... or that the big oil tank they've also been burrowing around will sink slowly into the ground... I am also surrounded by suddenly-appearing wee calves in the fields! Well, obviously they appear the usual way, but there are just more each day at the moment. Very wobbly wee things. *g*
Autumn is starting to creep in though... I always think crows are winter-ish (especially after living in Alaska, where they're a Christmas bird!), but these guys have been around all year, and must have a rookery up there. This was just after they'd been frightened out of the trees by a big cargo plane that flew past lower than they sometimes fly. It banked right over the farm yard before heading off, and made me come out running too...
I'm also still living in a happy glow from having got together with a fandom friend yesterday, and chatting Pros for literally hours and hours. Such a lovely day, and I'm looking forward to more! And Felicity M. Parkinson's stories are being posted to AO3 too - yeay. *g* Plus Reading Rooms to look forward to! Ooh - must re-read this week's story!
How's your September so far? *g*
