Wake up! It's the first Saturday of the month and time for free kid's workshop projects at Home Depot. today was an actually functional spice rack. Follow that up with Lawrence's bowling league, haircuts, grocery shopping and I'm so ready to make the snacks and settle in to watch some Beaver Football. Sometimes I think my hours at work are actually my 'downtime'.
The weather is absolutely amazing for November. Some rain but not enough to interfere with getting outdoors, temps so mild I haven't bought the winter coats yet, and gorgeous reds, yellows and oranges everywhere.
The other day I went to the Tualatin National Wildlife refuge and walked their trails. I was stopped to look at a little bird that actually runs up the tree trunk when all of a sudden a breeze came and I was caught in a shower of falling leaves. I half expected fairies to come out and say hello, it was just a magical moment. It was completely unplanned and I couldn't take people out to that spot to experience it, proof that I need to get outside more. Something about trees and water sets me at peace. I guess I need actual quiet around me to find it within me.
