thoughts of fall(ing)...

wowsers -what a loser. it's been a month since my last confess---er, post. not for a lack of interesting candid camera moments, mind you, just haven't had the time or the inclination to record them for some reason.

the weather is changing and it makes me happy. i want to be outside more when fall is here - love the cool breezes and the changing colors. been riding a bit lately too - mostly in the mojave desert - which is just as beautiful in the fall as in the spring, only in a different way, i guess. there will be trail closures soon due to mating/nesting birds which is cool, tons of other places to ride. i canna believe what an incredible total body workout it is to ride the quad for 7 hours - still gimping a bit from last sunday's ride. taking the kids out this weekend - haven't had all three out together since we got the 4th quad. should be fun to just take off and not have to share bikes (the girl currently doubles with dale or me -though she'll be ready for her own next summer, i'm sure)...i love to get them all outside together and being the loser parent that i am, i think i'll let them stay out of school next monday so we can ride all day sunday. the disneyland guy doesn't know it and i'm sure will have something to say about it - but whatever, funny how when he wants to keep them out it's all good.

the birds have been keeping me busy filling their feeders- little bastards are getting nice and fat. crap, and multiplying - the neighbor says it sounds like the rainforest over here in the evenings when they all perch in the trees and chat. i love watching them, but damn they are gonna eat me outta house and home. doesn't help when the buttmeister eats what falls on the ground either. guess he figgers if the birds want it, he should want it too...so he chases the ground feeders off and grazes on the fallen manna. what a dope - i found a nice crumbly pile of poop in the garage this morning. of course i looked at it (who can turn away without inspecting poop?) and noticed it was made up of mostly bird seed. seems to be plugging him up a bit, LOL what a doomas.

getting ready to make a mess of nanner bread...mmmmm. my body says i need to start storing fat now, less i find myself without adequate sustenance come the winter harshness. pffft - gotta listen, right?

i hope your fall brings you as much happiness as it does me. i know that the prospect of winter depresses lots of people, but it fills me with a real joy. fires, candles and red wine. slippers and big sweaters. dark, rainy days curled up watching old movies and football. comfort foods like soups, chicken pot pies and cobblers. ahhh, heaven.
