October Peom

The golden rays dance on sheltering fog so blue,
which frosts the tips of the tassels with dew.
The turning leaves come dancing alive in the light,
as the northerly wind touches cheeks with a bite.
Long, yellow buses stitch their way through the land,
bringing the children to school as planned.
As Summer's withered flora reveals the woodland fawn,
hats and gloves and mittens are donned.
The birds have begun their migration from here,
for the sun gives no heat though the blue sky is clear.

Hello, dear blog!

Here I am, at last, able to blog again. 

Life has been busy, happy and productive these past few months. The wedding happened in July. I met my in-laws who are a fun group of people. I've had the pleasure of being my husband's wife and learning to serve him better each day.  I've put in hours at my job, full of hard work and many moments of hearing a residents sorrow or sharing a smile. My coworkers are wonderful as well. I've started to get a handle on what exactly I need to go grocery shopping for, how to cook for two, keeping the home clean and wisely spending my free time. 

Oh, ...you know, all the little pleasures of life. 

Yet, through all of this I haven't been able to blog. A number of years back google decided to merge accounts on my family's home computer. Somehow my mom's gmail account and password were connected to my blog so it made it difficult for me to sign into my blogger account. However, since I was the only blogger I was rarely logged out and therefore it was never a problem. Now that I have moved out I've tried signing in over and over again without any luck. Finally I've been able to determine the appropriate log-in information from my mom. I can write again! I feel like a bird who's been let out of a cage! 

So for anyone who's assumed that I'd suddenly stopped blogging magically because I became a married woman..... well, I'm still here. Forgive this long absence. I'm glad to be back at it!
