Ah, Autumn.
The sun in Colorado is hot and bright. Even now, when the days should be deepening and the memories of summer should be cleaned, sorted and stored. It is hot and it is bright, reminding me that sunglasses and tanktops have not yet lost their purpose, that dogs will linger in the shade, that there is work to be done now and here. Not for later, but now. And here. While we still can.
These hours fill me with a great fatigue. The endless stretch of process and activity and movement they allow. How lovely it would be to awake to a cloudy and grim morning. Days when work is conducted despite the weather, not because of it. Weeks when men and animals burrow into cozy layers of inactivity, setting aside their tasks and appointments and requirements for a time when things are better.
