Husks, Sky


It is autumn and I spent the weekend wearing coats and kicking leaves and getting things in order. The new boots are very fond of kicking leaves. They would also be fond of walking through corn mazes and picking apples, but there is little time for such things at the moment, I'm afraid. I've tacked this photo up for now--If I close my eyes hard I can hear the wind rattle through the husks, hear littles I love giggling around the next corner, can smell the dirt and the corn and see our mud-caked shoes, ready to lead us out, on.

This photo makes me think of a scary book by Stephen King. Something about corn and children... children... corn... children of the.. oh yeah, Cujo. That's what it was. It's a pretty awful book though.

Mmm, boots. And yesterday, leather. And new mittens.

Oh and I discovered a cemetery, right near my house! With beautiful trees and fallen leaves. Delicious autumn.
