Fall Reprieve.....
This is just some random writing to move through some writer’s block….
October 18, 2009
Sitting in my office with the dogs asleep on the futon and rug in the fall late afternoon light that come through the paneled screen door glass lovely with the exception of paw prints, muddied paw print they continually deliver when wanting in usually when I have a client and I keep wiping off. The afternoon has been a return of the brief stint with fall again, a respite given with the melting snow. It has given me an opportunity to do some yard clean up again, forfeited when faced with the first snow, but now with wet soggy leaves. Mud caked shoes in a line up on the back porch. Dogs object to the wiping of the feet but allow m to lift each paw up and get between the toes.
Had a discussion after church with one of the other ladies who does gardening there on the church beds. We have different philosophies on the fall and spring clean up. I tend to cut everything down and she does not do so until the plant turns yellow or dries up, because of the need for more nutrition and moisture.

11:00 AM OK this is another one of those sit on the front porch, but in a warmer jacket, writing and figuring out how my week is going to be. Did some stretching and meditation this morning so that is not as much of a challenge for tomorrow. Got a call from the school about Makayla and her needing an excuse because she is sick but discovered that Patrick came over to her house and everything is OK.
Knowing that I have swimming and yoga tomorrow, reminds me that the energy level is not always as much on those days. Thus I may need to plan to do more of the important energy requiring things today….. the dogs are really antsy and wanting to go for a run… so do I go now or leave it until later? Again that balance as heading off now may lead into other things or distractions that all of a sudden it is 3 PM and I am zapped! Then I have clients tonight and the important stuff does not get done. So what is the important stuff or am I just procrastinating by even being here? No, even when I did yoga and meditation this morning it does give one a good physical and mental base for the rest of the day, so very easily I can go for a 40 min walk and still get the rest done.
Ö..Let the anxiety go and worry because in honesty can any of you by worrying add a single hour to the span of your life? If then if you are not able to do so small a thing why do you worry about the rest?
The walk turned out to be more like 90 minutes, but the sun came out and captured some more fall delights of color to the eye.
Oaks are not as common in the western Canada as in the east but they grow quickly as these two planted in the park at the beginning of our walk. 
Dogs wait patiently and you will note the coffee mug hooked to the leash, 
My coffee is one prerequisite for these walks. 
The larches are also turning golden and can produce some interesting effects as this sepia shot. 
The challenge as always is calling the dogs at end of our foray and the distraction that the pigeons offer.
….more so Dysis than Nanuq and 
I somehow feel the birds fend well for them selves fluttering up and landing non-plussed a few feet away.
