This year I'm really missing things. Nine years ago to the day (for some reason, my school always started the year on Labor Day) I began college in Colorado, and for years afterwards, the fall meant returning to my friends, beginning a new class, and seeing those mountains for the first time after a long summer away. I miss putting my books in a backpack and meeting my professor(s), and going to football games (only occasionally- our team was Division 3 and not that great...).
Here in Germany, the weather is fantastic today. Sunny, a little warmer than it has been, with just the right amount of breeze. I snapped a few picturs of sunflowers last week on my way to Spangdahlem. There are several fields full of thousands of these that seem to greet me each day as I pass. It's impossible to be in a bad mood when you see nothing but yellow on the hilltops. I'm so lucky.
