A Halelujah kind of day

stoney321Holy of Holy. I have had a fantastic morning. Aside from the fact that my dad dropped by and tried to convince me (but really himself) that Bush won last night's debate (whatever), this has been a fantastic day.
I love autumn. You'd think I'd love spring best, what with the gardening passion, but nope. Autumn. Rainy days turning cooler, the way the light changes as the earth spins away from the sun, the color change in the landscape... And I have found it's soundtrack.
Today I bought an album by a group called Zero 7, and if it wasn't for Garden State, I wouldn't know about them. Imagine waking up late in the morning on an October Sunday, you have on a long T-shirt, it's your favorite. You stretch in the comfy sheets, debating whether or not to get out of bed, and see the handsome man (or woman, depending on your orientation) laying there on his belly, face buried in the pillow. You finally had sex the night before, and it was mind-blowing and hot and sweet and you cried a little when you came, and then laughed at yourself for crying.
You walk across the hard wood floors and see the orange leaves falling in the window that reach from floor to ceiling. You make coffee, grab a fuzzy blanket, and curl up in a chair to watch the cool autumn breeze blow leaves across the sidewalk. Your new lover wakes up, shuffles in, stretches his arms by holding onto the top of the door frame and gives you a shy grin. His dark hair is rumpled, and his stubble makes him look rough and vulnerable, all at the same time. He curls up next to you in the chair and lays his head on your lap.
Your guitar is sitting on it's stand in the corner, maybe it'll get played today, but in a completely spontaeous way. Maybe you'll tune it while he's in the shower and he'll come out and you'll be fooling around and it'll be great, and he'll get still and quiet and fall in love with you a little more.
You forgot to turn off the Christmas lights you strung up for fun over the window, so they twinkle in the reflection on the glass. You have no real plans for the day, aside from minestrone soup and hot cocoa at some point, maybe a long walk through the park. It's one of those nothing days filled with promise, and you'll look back on it ten years later and think it was one of those rare perfect days.
This album is THAT DAY'S SOUNDTRACK.
I drove past the farm that raises thoroughbreds and watched the horses jump and play with each other. They're glad the cool weather is here, too. Mr. Stoney comes home tonight, so I'll finally be able to get a good night's sleep. Weekends! Love it. Love today. Love music.

My lovely friends.... (that means you!!)
Date: 2004-10-01 11:50 am (UTC)At least, that's what I tell myself to keep the wistfulness away. :-) I hope you have a great weekend, that you can have some quiet time all by yourself, and that your girls hug you and kiss your cheek. *mwah!!*

Date: 2004-10-01 12:15 pm (UTC)My version of a perfect day? Wake up late, cuddle with my gorditas and then go out, just the three of us, to any place where we can spend time together.

Date: 2004-10-01 12:19 pm (UTC)If you can't get it, I'll burn a copy and mail it to you. You NEED this kind of album to pull out on the right day, you know?

This is one of the things that makes me fall in love with you a little more.

Date: 2004-10-01 01:01 pm (UTC)Thank you for your kind words. But, I didn't give up writing! I quit writing Spuffy and am working on a personal story. I did write a short little tale of two young boys finding comfort with each other, called A Sort of Homecoming on AFFN.
Kiss your husband, hold his hand, be still and smell the skin under his right ear. Mmmmm.
Re: Je t'aime, mon amie! (is that spelled right?)

Date: 2004-10-01 01:03 pm (UTC)Guitars are SOO sexy, but I have to careful sometimes, because most of my thoughts turn to my dad, who is a virtuoso on both classical and acoustic. Can't let THAT get too tangled up.
I see you've posted. Off to read and love you more!

Heck, it'll only cost you a nickel.
Date: 2004-10-01 01:36 pm (UTC)Vinnie: anti-equine. Check.
How do you feel about sheep?
Re: Heck, it'll only cost you a nickel.
Date: 2004-10-01 02:03 pm (UTC)#15 on my userinfo page: I have irrational Equinophobia (the fear of horses) and Ornithophobia (fear of birds), there is absolutely no basis for these, I'm just afraid of these particular creatures.
I actually sorta own horses, cows and a bull in Mississipi. Won't go near the horses. The movie The Ring? Freaked me the fark out, man.
Poop. I forgot.
Date: 2004-10-01 02:24 pm (UTC)The Ring freaked my shit, too. The horse thing was FREAKY. I like Naomi Watts. Just watched 21 Grams last night, and I saw her boobies! Tee hee! Oh, horses. But they have soft furry noses!
I hate June bugs, so we're even on the irrational freakout.
You say June bug, I say Potato
Date: 2004-10-01 02:32 pm (UTC)I wanna see 21 grams, was it good, other than the boobage of course
movies -
Date: 2004-10-01 03:14 pm (UTC)Warning: sadness and angst ahead. Just sayin'. Not House of Sand and Fog sad, but sorrowful nonetheless.
