...And then, Fall Came

Labor Day weekend entailed 1700 miles for us.  We enjoyed weddings and family and saw Rock Springs and Colorado Springs and Fort Collins and Casper.  We drove EVERY day for 4 days.  My hips hurt from riding in vehicles.  I'm exhausted and don't know when I will ever catch up on my sleep.  I ate more delicious food that I should have. I read pages of poetry. The Hubs read more about the parties who were subject to the pain of the parties who caused the subject and other mumbo jumbo in case law.  We went to church.  We did laundry and cleaned house.  We went to sleep one night with all the windows hanging open and all fans blaring in the house, and woke up to a too cold for comfort bedroom and a 42 degree morning.  We resumed school and work and busy lives.  We complained about the increased traffic and terrible driving when the students came back.  We made plans for the first home game of the season. We wore brown and gold on college color day.  We counted down days to our next vacation.  We spoke of the slowing growth of our grass and the need for a couple of evening fires in the fire pit before it got too cold.

And then....

....when we weren't looking....

...with a harvest moon in the early evening sky...

Fall came.
