It feels like only yesterday it was Halloween. (Well, the day before.) Now here we are and it’s November and what do you know? The sun came out. And it was warm and beautiful, the sort of fall day you almost fear will pop and vanish like a soap bubble if you look at it too closely.
So we didn’t look. We just headed out for the park and its carpet of fallen leaves, got as naked as we could, and soaked up all the Vitamin D old Sol was willing to pump into us. Manga was read, as was an advance copy of BORDERLINE by Lawrence Block. Kitchen tools were discussed, as were breeds of apples. One of us was sporting a new tattoo. One was a first-timer and camera-shy. We saw mounted police on horses. No one bothered us. It was lovely.
How sweet, the last sip from the once-full cup.
Sounds like a great time was had by all. I’m surprised no pics of the new tat!
It seems not only on spring or summer the park is a romantic place. Among the brown leaves of fall a real co-ed meeting make that possible. And Ale… you’re heart and soul of the Society. Go ahead brave girls!!
I love the way you describe the day, especially this line:
“And it was warm and beautiful, the sort of fall day you almost fear will pop and vanish like a soap bubble if you look at it too closely.”
Beautiful prose.
Keep up the good work and enjoy life.
Peace.

Topless always nice but sorry to disappoint you about the vitamin D. The sun must be higher than 45 degrees above the horizon if you want it to trigger vitamin D in your skin.
Phooey.
It looks like you enjoyed this fine day,and that’s great because it’s 1 am on Sunday and Mother Nature has done a HUGE turn-around. I hope we get a couple more nice days in before the frost sets up shop,but this really might be it. Geez,I hate Winter.
Bonjour, Bare Bosomed Bookies. I just read in the Times about a new bookstore you might like. Here it is: Singularity & Co.It’s on Bridge Street in Brooklyn. They may be charmed to have you shop and shoot there on inclement days.
How wonderful! Thanks for the tip…
It would probably be unhealthy and unnatural for me to wish summer would never end. And yet . . .
