Day 232: Fall Is Here

It’s 7:30pm as I begin this. I am parked behind the house in Dorchester, arriving home about 6pm. Right now I can’t see the house, the barn, or the car in front of me. It seems as if just weeks ago ago there was still some light at 9pm. Trees are turning colors and the nights are getting chilly enough to want a warmer quilt. There is no reason for me to move into the bedroom here, just to move out on Monday when a friend is coming to visit. It offers me an easier time to prepare Karma for our journey south in two weeks – a gift deserving not to be squandered. No! Less then two weeks. Oh, did that realization just wake up my anxieties!  

Rebecca and I got to meet our hosts for the last two nights. We were their first guests, with their second coming in an hour after we left. I gave them both tarot readings. The multitude of cards that showed up in both their layouts was amazing. They clearly are two lovebirds.

Speaking of Lovebirds, as soon as Facebook will upload it, I will post a video of Rebecca and me taste testing vegan donuts from … drumroll please … Lovebirds Donuts in Kittery, Maine. Following a vegan lifestyle is not always easy, so joys such as this are not to be missed. Back in the day when I was a vegetarian, then a vegan, nothing like an entire cafe being vegan, or even what you can find in most large supermarkets, existed. The dinner a classy restaurant served to me on my wedding day was a plate of steamed vegetables.  Boring vegetables

Facebook has several photos from the four-day trip. I was too caught up in sharing time with Rebecca to think about documenting it.

This deserves more details, but I’m whooped from the drive (and worrying that something is not altogether right with my transmission) and a third night with the moon shining on my bed. Something about full moons – I can’t seem to sleep.

Tonight it could be the noises I keep hearing that are most likely made by animals, and a very long black bug crawling on the ceiling.
