Nothing in my head

The weather. It makes me happy, for it is the turning of the year towards crisp autumn days and cozy winter. It makes me productive--the garden needs attention, the yard needs attention, school needs attention. I have taken many photos, from camping to dancing to cooking. But nothing is here. Because the happy productivity? It makes me tired. That combined with the slow decline of sunshine and the increasing need for wool sweaters just makes me tired. It makes me lie on the couch for a half an hour instead of blog for that same time period. It makes me glad for the beans in the crockpot on a Monday afternoon not so I can come up here and post pictures of how I made grape jelly, but so I can turn on "Mighty Machines" in the living room, let Leo use my leg as a choo-choo track, and close my eyes for just a moment between after school rush and dinner on the table long downhill slide to bedtime.

Zzz. More later. Perhaps.
