I hear the alarm clock

[threeplusfire]

The only truly difficult part about sleeping on the couch is the noise, and the lack of true darkness. But I do feel more at home here, perhaps because I've spent all these years building a life outside of what I once was.

I dreamed a lot, about Gregg, and house foundations, and Brno, and things left unsaid. There were many cakes decorated with cherries and strawberries.

Some day, I want to see autumn with leaves that change colors.

People up here kept asking me, "So have you ever seen the leaves change colors in the fall? It's really spectacular." I dunno. I guess I've seen them change from green, to reddish-brown, to brown (or something like that) in Texas.

Anyhow, I really got to see the leaves changing colors last weekend. It was really fantastic: scarlet reds, fluorescent oranges, bright yellow, deep purples.... when the sunlight hit them and the wind started blowing, it looked like a fire dancing. The intensity of the colors is amazing.

I did take some pictures, which I just got developed. I'll post them sometime soon. I'm sure that northerners will be unimpressed by them, but to a Texan..... they're really something.

Wow.... I can't wait to see. :D It sounds so amazing, like the first time I saw fields of poppies or sunflowers.
