I love Fall!

Tonight I went for a bike ride. I rode even though I am seriously starting to question whether we can finish our (not so) little painting project in time for the party that we're planning to have here. But the Tuesday night ride has become almost like therapy for me. Not quite in the middle of the week, it provides an island of physical outlet. Physical exercise seems to play an important role in my ability to stay sane. Anyway, as a result of the now quickly receding hours of sunlight, as I rolled up the hill to my house in the dark last night. The sight of our house with its outside lights on reminded me of the rich reward of returning to a warm home after a ride in autumn's brisk air.
