we decided to run the air conditioner today. and run the oven, to make the first cookies in weeks.
our carbon footprint stamped out the entire size of our house i suppose, in just one day.

i'm trying to keep my blinders on and still love summer,
but i saw a photo in a magazine
of a woman in a slim brown sweater,
with a rusty-orange colored scarf,
and i had a twinge,
(just a twinge
because i averted my eyes quickly,)
of longing for fall,
and sweater weather,
and scarves.

also,in the car the other day
we were listening to blood on the tracks,
and i said:
i've loved this album since i was so so young,
and i always listened to it,
daydreaming about going back to school
and wearing the perfect sweater
and everything was going to be different
this year.

i still do.

xo,
