Autumn in Vermont: A Southerner's Love Affair with a Northern State | 
#wondrouswednesday @Eggs
1. Look at the leaves (I do live in Vermont, after all), hike, go apple picking, have backyard fires, eat s'mores, watch football, and just generally enjoy the chill in the air.
2. Melancholy
3. Rabbit, Run (Updike)

wanderinglynn Feeling similarly. Melancholy was my second choice word after weary. 💙 8mo
The_Penniless_Author @wanderinglynn Ha, no joke, weary was my second choice! 8mo
The_Penniless_Author @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm It is better than Mud Season (May), I'll give it that. 😁 (Actually, May is one of my favorite months here, just not if you have to drive anywhere without paved roads.) 8mo
wanderinglynn Great minds! Or maybe weary, melancholy minds . . . 8mo
The_Penniless_Author @wanderinglynn I suppose most melancholy people are weary (and vice versa) 😅 8mo
CBee The weary discussion immediately brought the song Try a Little Tenderness to my brain…. “Oh, she may be weary…..” I may or may not have been jamming to it in the car yesterday (Otis 💚💚). I‘m a generally melancholy person so, I feel ya Randy 🫠 8mo
CBee And thanks for the tag 🙂 8mo
eeclayton Thanks for the tag 🙂 I actually bailed on Rabbit Run, I'll be curious to read your review. 8mo
The_Penniless_Author @cbee You're melancholy, like Otis Redding, and have a yellowish-orange pet with a comically long face? We should be friends! 😆 8mo
The_Penniless_Author @eeclayton Oh no, now I'm too scared to post it! 🤣 8mo
dabbe Okay, next year autumn-leaves party at @The_Penniless_Author's place! That will get rid of all of our melancholy! 🤩🤩🤩 Thanks for the tag, too! 8mo
CBee @The_Penniless_Author I guess you could say she‘s sorta yellowish orange, but she‘s more auburn reddish. But STILL! She does have a nice long snoot. Her name is Izzy and she‘s almost 16! And oh my yes, Otis is 🔥🔥🔥 (edited) 8mo
The_Penniless_Author @dabbe Until you discover that I charge market rate on Airbnb, at which point your melancholy becomes full-on depression 😂 8mo
RaeLovesToRead Updike on Rae recommendation? 😁 8mo

The_Penniless_Author @RaeLovesToRead Canadian Club whiskey and Toblerones it is! 😆 8mo
