I haven't written anything in a month. (You can't tell how long because there's no timestamps here.) I'm still out by the fire though, but it's the middle of September instead of the middle of August. It's around dinner time on a Sunday, and the fire's about to die down. I wanted a day fire because it was nice enough to sit outside but not hot enough to enjoy it for very long. A fire was a nice way to complete the circle of comfort.
There's geese overhead right now. In fact, geese are everywhere right now. Last week was pretty cold, so I feel like they're accelerating their plans to head south for the winter. The leaves have started to turn on some of the trees around here too. Summer ended abruptly for sure.
