Sleepy Fall

Happy Glorious Monday Evening!

What a crazy week it's been. Up until Saturday, Dave had worked 12 days straight and when he works like that, it means I work like that. Even though he had worked like a dog, Dave had plans to do this, and that, go to Mason's soccer game, and then the next thing, too. I suggested that we go into slow-motion and do a little as we could possibly get away with. We slept in, ran one errand and went to Mason's soccer game on Saturday. They won! The Pistol Pete's Pirates are undefeated!

On Sunday, we went to Dixon and conquered the World's Largest Corn Maze. Yes! It actually holds the world record! Isn't that cool? Well as cool as it is, it wasn't cool at all in the literal sense! It was sweltering hot and muggy but fun. Dave did an amazing job reading the map and with only one wrong turn, we did the maze in an hour and fifteen minutes! We made one more stop at Pedrick's Produce where we know we can always get the freshest fruits and veggies for pennies. We stuck with the plan and came home in the afternoon and did whatever each of us wanted to do. Dave painted, Mason watched a movie, and I napped.

I can't help but feel like when the season changes from summer to fall, as the days get shorter and the nights cooler, our bodies feel the changes. So many of us are moving a little slower and ready for bed a bit earlier. As we adjust, we get a second wind, so to speak, and find ourselves back in the swing of things just in time for all the extra activities the holidays bring. I say go with it. It you're sleepy, go to bed early. If anyone asks, tell them Kathy said you could!

Happy Fall and remember:

“Sometimes the most productive thing one can do is to sleep.”
