missing autumn

photo from we heart it

i step out of work today knowing i will step into the dry, opressive heat of a southern california september -- but still, in my mind i imagine it's the lovely moody wet and green misty rainy fall of the east coast. i imagine a little home with a fireplace, happy dogs (mavis and walter, i've already named them) greeting me & licking raindrops off my feet, a hardcover book and a glass of red wine.

i love my life, but sometimes it's nice to slip into a fantasy so real you can smell the rain.

if you could step out your door today into somewhere new, where would it be?

today i am so happy and grateful for:
~ imagination
~ the way rain always makes colors more vibrant
