I'm going to ride out this fabulous mood, with its optimism and sense of well being, for as long as I can. I found out that I'm going to live out a dream of mine this week, but I can't say until it's official. My landlord has an overgrown, organic garden that displays new blooms every other week. I love August and September for the butterflies I see flying around whereever I go--on the U of M walking bridge, at Chipolte, and a whole family of them in the crazy garden in my front yard. I know its very 4th grade unicorn and ponies for me to like them, but they give me a sense of renewal and good fortune, which I think is unique for autumn since you are watching so many things die and hibernate. They fly with jagged energy but graciousness. I hope you find some good luck today too.
