Like The Weather-10,000 Maniacs

...sitting outside smoking and taking in the scene outside my door...it is cold and wet and grey...i love fall...the leaves are changing and falling as the naked branches begin to reach towards the sky longing for Halloween...

...fall begins the great air-conditioning vs. heater dance we do as we strive to acclimate to the cooler weather...we begin to break out our sweaters, scarfs and get our coats dry-cleaned...all winter long we long for reprieve from the relentless cold...and by mid-summer we are endlessly seeking out a cool breeze...fall is our reward for frying in the summer sun...

...i may just be a real Montanan now...all over America people mourn the passing of yet another summer...i find myself blooming now as the summer gives up it's fight...i am off to pick out a scarf to wear when i leave the house tonight...
