[we are now smack-dab in the middle of decorative gourd season.]
-we have a beautiful tea box given to us by a friend for our wedding, in which we store all of our packets of herbal tea. there are many different kinds: chamomile, licorice, peppermint . . . but the one i always go for is the "throat coat" kind. it just tastes the best. i wonder if we should just have a tea box full of throat coat tea.
-last week the temperature dropped forty degrees. we are now happily into autumn and autumn is good for my soul.
-i've discovered that crunching and kicking acorns is just about as delightful as crunching crisp, autumn leaves. i'm also glad that no acorns have fallen on my head yet, because that wouldn't feel very nice.
-i'm convinced that princeton just digs up trees and replants them in opportune places to try to amplify their overall arbor-y experience (which, they don't really need to do, but whatever).
[can you see that little tree just beyond the barriers? yeah. that one was just barely re-planted.]
-i had the realization the other day at a gathering of young adults that all of the buzzfeed "what jane austen character are you?" quizzes i religiously took when i was in my early twenties were all wrong. i'm not jane bennet, elinor dashwood, or even caroline bingley. i'm actually mr. darcy.
