On Reading: August

Autumn and I have had a beautiful, Fall love affair for at least 30 years. My adoration for her usually has me viewing the other Seasons of the year as annoyances that do little else save keep me from the beauty of my favorite time of year.

On Reading: July

July kicked my ass, like hardcore parkour kicked my ass.
I moved this month, yay! Now I can’t find anything, boo!

But it’s also the month I lost my Dad and my Mom, both have been gone for years now, but added all together – April makes for a weird month that takes it’s toll on me emotionally.
