The summer of 2009 was miserable for a lot of reasons. The water heater failed. The Girly couldn't find work. The dog wanted about 3 more walks per day than anyone was prepared to deliver. Then he got geardia. Then it rained and rained and rained. Tomatos hung on the vine for a month without growing. Slugs ate the garden. And then there was the dissertation....
Sometime in August, the weather cleared. Just in time for autumn to set in. The span from late August to early November more than made up for the wet gray mess that the summer had been. Sitting in the muggy brown of Virginia winter, I am a bit homesick for a place I never really thought of as home.
