September 27, 2006 2:03 PM- annie, get your gun

This was going to be my good-bye post-- taking a leave of absence for an indeterminate time frame. However, I can hardly pull the words together to generate temporary closure so that will have to wait until another day.

Can you feel how pathetic that is? OMG. Somebody shoot me.

Meantime, here are some shots from this morning as I drove to town.



got 2 cents?

Gorgeous fall colors! Yeah. I totally needed to see that today. The palm trees down here stubbornly refuse to turn red and gold! Good luck with everything while you take some blog-time off. We'll miss you!

Uh, no. I am afraid I just can't allow it. Unless you promise to come back and when I say promise I mean pinky swear it. Don't make me hike to Soliden, woman. BECAUSE I WILL. What will I do if my fairyblogmother leaves? What will become of me? What about the butterscotch boys? Don't you know the joy they spread to all the Internet? Can you tell I used to be a Baptist? I've got the guilt trip CHOPS, baby!

Wow - beautiful!! Uh - Wow! (gasp) Really? Not really goodbye, though - just au revoir, see you real soon, right? With a new job and all the decorating, etc, I'm sure you need some time off...but I do hope to see you again!! (Well, not really SEE you, because I'm not really stalking you - but you know... ;) Will be waiting when you're ready to pop back up again. Take care.

I'm with the waaaahhhh? No! people...I know I should say go forth, all the best and all that but do you mean go, like not pop back at all for a while? No!! I am selfish. I need you and your technicolour fall. Think of it this way. If you don't post i will never see any nature. Or dogs. Ever. Feeling guilty now aren't you?

Dear Poppy, living where you do I think it would be hard for me to catch a breath indoors for all that beauty. I wish you luck in your creativity, please keep in touch, you're a shining light. XO Bridget

Leave of absence? I'm not sure I like the sound of that. And you must promise to come back. PS Gorgeous photos that fill me with longing as always!

Really? Really? What are your thoughts on leaving? Sometimes I think the blogworld and the 3-D world live on separate planes and when the 3-D one beacons and demands full time and attention it is hard to give to the bloggy one.

ozma says:
That boggles my mind and I really mean that. Holy #$%@. Nature. You get to see that everyday. When do we get to trade lives? I never tell people not to leave because I think the internet can trap you and I don't want anyone I like to get trapped by it--but if you do leave for a bit I do hope you will return! (And you'll see the link on my site for at least a year or two. Even if I leave, I won't delete. I'm a saver.)

You do this all the time, and it is simply unacceptable, sister. You must keep us updated on a regular, frequest basis. That's all there is to it. I'm not above blackmail. Not that I have anything to blackmail you with. But if I did... xoxo

I haven't been commenting much lately, but not being able to visit you - and the incredible place you live - would be so sad. Saying that, I also understand the need to take a breather - so do what you must, dear BP (I say with a tear).

What? Why? I don't think that's such a good idea. Can't you just... blog a little less? Why quit? I think you're overruled!
