Sombre Sunset

Today I cut my lawn for the last time this year. It was an event that happened much later this year than last and I could have worn just a tee shirt. I didn't cause I'm not an idiot, but I could have. The forecast has winter starting in earnest this weekend so I figured I'd better save myself some tough hours raking and trim it up this year. Last year was a poor choice to let it turn into a thriving hay field in fall. I stopped cutting in September last year. It's true I didn't cut it in September this year, or October. But November saw the official end of it all. I pulled all my annual flowers out and dumped them in the ditch too. Everything is put away now and ready for the impending gloom. I'm feeling gloomy too, but it's in an excited way. I'm excited that I feel gloomy and wear it like a badge of honour. The best I can figure is that I've finally said good bye to summer. We finished our fall tillage at work and the lawn was cut for the final time. That, or I just watched five episodes of Fargo season 2 in a row while working on some stuff for tomorrow. I have my performance review that has gone terribly in the past and I have to interview someone as well. So there is that as they say. Yeah? Oh yeah. Either way, it has been a satisfyingly gloomy evening. I'll leave it at that with a nod to the show Fargo, well done.
