Today it was sunny. Crisp and sunny! Delicious. It felt like Autumn, which I love. I felt totally good. From the minute I glanced at the blueness of this mornings sky, I was totally in a different mood from yesterday. I could say the things I wanted to say to people. I could clean up. I was better than yesterday.
Yesterday with it’s rain and cold was just a preview of what’s coming up and I tried to prepare for it today. I know it’s early and I don’t want to live under a cloud of concern about winter. I am a Snake in Chinese astrology and winter makes me want to hibernate. If I could just stay home, sleep, eat and stay warm, it would be fine, but I can’t so I have a little dread of winter.
Today I rearranged my furniture.I made my couch face the wood heater so I can appreciate it more (if I ever use it again). Halfway through last winter I bought a reverse cycle air conditioner for instant warmth in winter. I won’t have to get home in the dark, bring in the wood and try to get a fire going, which would get the house warm by the time I’m ready to go to bed. I finally replaced my TV.
Really there is nothing to worry about. I’m nearly prepared. When Autumn starts turning on me, I will get out the flanelette sheets and bring forward the extra clothing layers I’ll need. Now I can relax and enjoy the rest of summer.

Hibernation: That sounds like an ideal winter to me too.
