Time Flies....

Wow, It has been more than a month since I have visited here. No words have laid to rest anywhere except on my tongue ever so briefly. I have spent countless hours conversing with my best friend over the past month but have taken no time to write anything down.

What has kept me so busy that I have failed to pay attention to my first love? Writing, that is. I'm going to list them for you in a seemingly random fashion...

Summer...which brings another distraction...sunshine...which leads to the beach which brings another distraction....water!...which brings another distraction...a comfy stretch of sand...which brings yet another distraction...a log! While I sit at this log, I contemplate all the pretty little things swirling about my head. Love, men, connection, campfires, marshmellows, kids, shovels to dig in the shimmering sand and life.

I love summer and as it winds down I welcome the cool night air, the stars that blink at me and although this may seem silly, I welcome the neighborhood dogs that wander around with tennis balls in their mouths. They wag their tails, they do not drop their ball and it seems they smile at me through their grey whiskers and I catch a glint of mischief in their sparkling eyes. They love summer too, it seems.

Autumn is sneaking up on us....
