Blown Away

It's a crispy fall day today. All of the leaves on the birch, poplar, beech and maple trees have been blow away. The oak leaves hold strong, though.

My gig Friday night was just as fun as I had hoped it to be. We all played with abandon, and everybody had their big ears open for the music that was being pulled out of our hearts.

Saturday was rainy, and I really didn't feel like doing much. I slacked off most of the day in my sweats, but got myself cleaned up in time to accompany Don down to his gig, which was only in the next town over, and only from 8-11 pm. His band was breaking in their new guitar player, and he did a fine job. The weather was so warm that night, 60 degrees!

However, the warm temps have, too, been blown away, and now the reality of the season has arrived. Cold toes, cold fingers, extra layers, and a hat.
