Days Like That




Gdansk, Poland
Polish Woods...compliments of my baby child. 
She inherited her mama's adventurous spirit, but her daddy's fearlessness.

Are you feeling fall in your days? 

Well, I'm not. 

It's still hot and humid here. If we are lucky, we will start to feel some cool crisp days around Halloween. Now, we will have some coolish nights before then, but I'm longing for those cool crisp days. The days that make you want to go on a hike or visit an apple orchard. The days that make you want to sit on a dock with a warm lap quilt across your legs and a good book in your hands, while sipping a nice hot cup of Chai tea. My gosh, even days that make you want to go out and rake! HaHa! Yes, I do like to rake, but I hate to pick up the leaves afterwards. 

And then, I start craving the days that are cold enough that it drives the snakes into hibernation. Although, I don't think the little demons ever do that. But, I do feel a little safer knowing that maybe they are hiding under a rock or a log somewhere....because it's too cold for them to move. Those are the days that I like to get out and explore. Hikes into the woods (on a clear path, mind you..like those in Whitney's Polish woods), adventures with Lidia, Sawyer and Cliff into their worlds of exploration and wonderment. On days like that, I am free from fear. 

Lord, I can't wait for days like that. 

Wishing you cool crisp days,
Laurie
