Look Out, Here It Comes!

It's not far now, just creeping around the corner. You can feel it, esp. in the mornings when it's brisk, crisp and cool and you need to wear your jacket. There is a "nippiness" and a chill in the air, a briskness, and some leaves are even starting to change colour now and fall. The long days of summer are now slowly turning into the shorter days of fall and now the sun sets at 7;30 pm(it used to be 9 pm) and rises at 6:45 am (it used to be before 6 am.) Fall is coming. As much as I love summer I do like fall though, the pretty colours of the leaves and the crispness of the air, not to mention everything pumpkin spice flavour and 2 of my fave. people were born in October as well but the only thing I don't like about it is Satan's Day (Hallowe'en). I still remember too at the old house when the kids were younger every fall my hubby and I would take them in a wagon ride around the neighbourhood collecting leaves on our annual Leaf Walk  and later on once we got back home I'd sort thru the bags of leaves they'd collected and pick out the prettiest ones( mainly the brilliant oranges and reds but with a few yellows, browns and burgundies for contrast) and make a fall wreath I'd hang on the outside front door. I cherish fond memories like that and wonder if any of the kids even still remember it. Taking Buddy for his am walk this morning I'd forgotten schools were back too until I saw a school bus go by and a bunch of teens walking by carrying backpacks.Now the weather is starting to get cooler I'm also starting to grow my hair out a bit longer as well.

This is also a song that I can totally relate to, that just resonates with my soul:

Goodbye

Ozzy Osbourne

One, two, three, four
Do you have any memories? Hahahaha

Dark memories, dark memories
They keep me up all night
You left me, half-empty
Why are you always right?

Can't change me, can't change me
No matter how you try
You break me, forsake me
Right now, I wanna die

So it's goodbye (bye, bye)
So it's goodbye (bye, bye)

No future, no-no-no future
Replace me, now I'm gone
Black dresses, black roses
The world keeps turning on

Cry for me, cry for me
It's what I really want
I'm leaving believing
My work down here is done

So it's goodbye (bye, bye)
So it's goodbye (bye, bye)

Did you hear it, purgatory
Not afraid to burn in hell
All my friends are waiting for me
I can hear them crying out for help

Cryin' out for help

No reward for suicide
No pain in blood can still be felt
Mother Mary, Jesus Christ
I wish you heard me cryin' out for help

Cryin' out for help

The crowd is still waitin'
I took my final bow
It's over, so over
Too late to turn back now

I'm sorry, so sorry
I give my life a try
Forgive me, forgive me
I didn't say goodbye

So it's goodbye (bye, bye)
So it's goodbye (bye, bye)

Did you hear it, purgatory
Not afraid to burn in hell
All my friends are waiting for me
I can hear them crying out for help

Cryin' out for help
Cryin' out for help

Disingenuous
Did you take time yet?
There's health in heaven?

The 23 YR old is also near the NorthWest Territories on a jobsite literally  out in the middle of nowhere so  far North and so remote they had to fly him up there in a Cessna and there's no roads so flying is  the only way you can get  in and out and have supplies delivered, and yesterday I saw literally hundredss  of ladybugs emerging from a bush in our yard flying up towards the sunlight too, I assume they must have just hatched but it was quite an amazing sight to see(and I was just grateful that they weren't wasps!) and a neighbour also told me we have lots of ragweed on our lawn too and his dog  is allergic to it and so that got me thinking : I'M really allergic to it as well( when I was a teen I had those allergy tests done hundreds of needles along my arms to test and the ragweed reacted the worst for allergy) so maybe that's why this  summer my allergies have been extra bad, and maybe also what it is on Buddy's fur too that gets me itchy hives; he walks thru the grass....

Why fit in when you were born to stand out?
