Turning Over A Leaf

I turned over the pretty leaf on the road one day when taking a walk. The back was not coloured at all. All of the leaves from that tree were the same with the back of the leaf being whitish grey and the front colourful. Some people want the perfect leaf only to find when it's turned over, it's not what they expect. It's just dull and colourless but it's still the same leaf.

My daughter leaves again today. I'll miss her lively presence. Things will be quieter and quieter.

Music for today: New Years Eve by The Walkmen, a link to Take Me As I Am by the October Project, and Just My Soul Responding by Smokey Robinson.

In Disguise

Happy Halloween! I have a reputation for always dressing up in costume for Halloween but am not this year. The local post office and grocery store employees were pretty surprised to see me not in costume today. We talked about dressing up for trivia tonight too but I have a reason. You can't make purchases at the liquor stores in this province if you're wearing Halloween makeup of masks. No exceptions. I need beer. Enough said!

Music today: Standin' at the Crossroads by John Lee Hooker and Take Me As I Am by appropriately, October Project.

I'm on my way to visit some galleries but wanted to put this link in on the right day. Enjoy this Halloween link.
