Didn't someone see it coming?
And yet no one said a word
A life full of promises
Unfulfilled

fall is in the air

It's finally fall. The visitors have gone. It's too cool to swim, kids are back in school. Time for quiet walks on the beach, reflection, bundling up in the morning. The drought has killed the beautiful colors we're accustomed to seeing elsewhere. I wonder if it will snow during the World Series even?

I don't do memes regularly or often, but a human I've only recent encoutnered via BlogShares has tagged me, so here goes. A quote from that human:

If she doesn’t stop that, I’m gonna start thinking she likes me or something. So I’m gonna morph this LALOLKFATYK (Learn A Lot Of Little Known Facts About Those You Know) meme into something a little more useful. Add your blog and location to the bottom of this list, and send it on.
