sunshine.

i took the dog for a walk today.

it started out looking like my most productive accomplishment of the day would be doing the dishes. the i talk to pat and he told me he went hiking. at this point i looked around my dark basemen to my sunny backyard and thought... this is ridiculous. so i got dressed (yup, hadnt even done that yet) and headed out with the old nickster.

it was so amazingly beautiful out... i managed to find some of the little woods left near my place and it took some looking to find. but in the end, it was worth it. it was that time of day where everywhere there were soft shadows dotted with bright splashes of light. it was a simple feild of weeds and nondescript bushes but i just wanted to share it with the world. i wished i had someone who would come out with me and love it just as much. in the end being alone in it all was just fine, but i still wish i had a camera. just... the colours. it wasnt even " breathtaking", it was just so nice in the fact that it was so simple. i cant explain it, ill just have to settle with "you had to be there."

your favorite season is up there with asking for your favorite colour or band. i could never figure out my favorite season until now. i dont have one ive realised, i just love the transition times. i love the first sunny days with a cool wind, walking by some trees with a cold nose and a warm coat. thats summer to fall. i love the first day of snow, the sound the snow makes when its falling on a winter night or even the way it looks in the sun when its fresh. thats from fall to winter. and i love the first really warm day, the first time you ride the bus home with the window open, seing the ice thaw and water running in streams for the first time in months. thats winter to spring. and last, i love the first long walk along the canal at ngiht wearing nothing but a t-shirt, or reading barefoot in the grass in my backyard or the first night to sleep with the window open over my head. thats spring to summer.
any one season gets long after awhile and when im in one i always want the other. the transition periods are what really make me happy or get me excited. all the things i was just talking about are actually things that remind me of those times. i always get a refreshing feeling of renewal right around now.
now im ready for a new outlook.
