Hello all two of you!
You may not have noticed or cared, but it's been almost two months since the last post on this here little site. I've returned to Milwaukee after just under a month in Missouri. Things are a little different here now with the absence of the warm weather and Jessica (who will be in Spain for the coming months). Also new is my residence, which may or may not be featured at a later date once paint is dry and furnishing is completed. One of my favorite things about my apartment is that many more things are accessible by foot. Walking past the drive-thru doughnut stand, Sil's, this evening, the scent was unbearably intoxicating. It is a mixed blessing to have doughnuts hot and fresh at all times a short walk away from your door. We'll see how it goes. Just a few feet away from Sil's remains the epic sinkhole from the summer's flood, which is scheduled to be patched up within the next couple of weeks. You'll be missed, Sinky.
It's now the perfect weather for the autumn lovers (read: me), able to emancipate jackets and warn-in boots from their summer prisons and revel slight bite of cold in the air. Transitional weather has the cleanest smell, crispness cut with the warmth of laundry's dryer sheets escaping from houses. It's that last bit of lightness before the spicy buttery sweet baking smells emit from winter kitchens. The leaves will soon turn to fiery hues and the magic will begin in earnest and I will be giddy with excitement about pumpkins hay rides and apple orchards.
For now, I'll wait patiently and enjoy the final bits of summer and outside patio sitting. Hooray!
