I feel superstitiously like I'm inviting disaster when I write this, but our October has been more beautiful than any I can remember. Mild, storm-free, and most importantly, nicely paced...no trees on the roof, no awful viruses...it has been a restful change from the swirly hazy blur that was August and most of September.
Today I drove to work (side note: two near-accidents made me realize how nice it is to take the bus) and took the Nine Springs route because I had time to. The happy surprise was that the cranes aren't all gone yet. There were about 20-30 gathered together, which tells me that they are certainly on their way south. But I was so happy I got to see them at least one more time.
