Rainy Day

Sometimes we get rain in October and today we've had enough that I've turned off the automatic sprinklers for tomorrow. That's real rain. And it looks very fall season-ish outside.

I left work early to come home a pick Kiera up for her dentist appointment, back home about 5 and the cool temp, below 60 (!!) inspired me.  I tossed an environmentally friendly pre-formed log from primarily recycled material into the fireplace. I lighted the scented candles above the mantle to cover the smell of said log. Put on my sweats and slipper socks and relaxed on the couch with the cafe mocha we picked up on the way home and the book I wanted to finish.

Doesn't that just look cozy? Until I noticed that the living room was looking a little hazy and realized the flue apparently wasn't opened although I had moved it from the prior position. Fortunately the flames from a post production recycled material log didn't prevent me from reaching in to open it. And as I type this the fan for our central heat and air is running and the haze is clearing nicely. And I think I'll go make some tacos for dinner. I am happy to report sunny and back into the 80s for my planned day at Glen Ivy Spa with Roxanna on Monday because obviously I'm not 'doing' the fall thing all that well.
