Friday's Letters

Fall watercolor photo.  I know it's extremely out of focus, but I promise it was on purpose!

Dear Friday.  You are a slightly cold, dreary, windy day of this week.  I don't mind since it'll give me an excuse to curl up with some hot chocolate and a new novel.  [And subsequently ignore all that needs to be done around the house.]  Dear autumn.  You've arrived with a vengeance.  I went to sleep one night, and awoke to a riot of color and cool weather.  Dear Germany.  So far, this is my favorite time of year in this country.  All of the festivals, the colors, the wardrobes.  I'm sure that will change when Christmas markets come back around, though.  Dear Ninja & Sass.  I understand how much you love our daily walks, I quite enjoy them as well.  But it's raining.  Like, all the time.  Cut me a break, ya?  Dear husband.  I woke up yesterday to a clean kitchen and living room, dogs fed and let out, and coffee waiting for me on the kitchen counter.  Seriously.  You're the best ever.  Dear house.  While you are kind of an older home, and therefore things don't always work the way they should, I didn't realize that this also meant you have absolutely no insulation at all.  I am freezing all the time, and winter hasn't even hit yet.  Gr.  Dear Nikon.  I haven't really brought you out much lately due to weather and a very legitimate fear of destroying you in the rain, but today's walk was a perfect chance to reconnect.  I've missed you so.  Dear readers.  I hope I've been doing a tad better on the posting and replying side of things.  Next I tackle my sponsor challenge; you all will be getting tons more recognition in the future.  Maybe that tempts some of you others to ad swap as well?  Dear Janan.  I seriously just finished reading your Facebook message to me, and it made me so so homesick.  I miss you.  Dear everyone else in the States.  I miss you all as well.  Family, friends, Chick-fil-A.  You're in my thoughts every day.  Dear weekend.  I'm supposed to have two photo shoots over the next couple days, so please help this weather clear out soon.  Danke.
