If I Wanted to*

I Want To...

Blog...

Study...

Celebrate special birthdays with my friends...

Take my gorgeous lover out to dinner...

Play music just for me...

Read lots of books...

Spend less time in bed...

BUT

just because [If] I Wanted To...

I simply can't right now

So I look forward to the day I can.

If I wanted to I could be as patient as death
Fix this hole in my heart leaking into my flesh
If I wanted to I could turn sparks into ice
There'd never be another woman who could make you
think twice
I wouldn't have to be in love with you
If I only wanted to
If I only wanted to

California Dreaming*

Last month was a lean month for blogging, even though there was plenty of fodder, there was limited time. While waiting for an appt the other week, I took some beautiful autumn photos on my phone.

Autumn is my favourite time of year, and it was lovely sitting on the leaves and enjoying the sunshine.

The weather completely turned this week, bringing snow and freezing cold winds. My ride on Tuesday was in 7 deg Celsius, rain and wind. I thought I would be able to snap my thumbs off when I got home!

all the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
on a winter's day
