Where is my muse this evening?  Still absorbing my day, I would imagine.  Some days are designed purely for input.  Today was one such day ... the most beautiful of New York autumn blue sky and sunshine, sparkling colors with peek-a-boo lights, stop by the side of the road, warm your face, take it all in kind of day. 

No clouds, no existential angst.  To be is all there is and it is good.  And then I realize that I left my camera behind but decide to forgive myself, laughing that I see life in blogs of time.  A journey I cannot share in the Rain as I would like to; words are all I have now.

I take country roads from Cornwall to Goshen, through Mountainville's valley and mountain views, interrupted by Washingtonville's main thoroughfare where I get a ticket at a sticker checkpoint.  A Trooper slides a light meter over my driver's side window and tells me that the tint is too dark.  Absurd scene ... not going to let this creep into my consciousness today.   On through Hamptonburgh to Sarah Well's Trail ... one of my favorite winding roads ... pure country ... sprawling farms, farm stands, dotted with houses old and new, color, color everywhere ... no traffic at all and 55 mph speed limit ... open my too-tinted windows, turn up the music, full speed ahead!  Life in the one lane!

Left turn into Goshen's traffic ... Goshen is the County Seat.  Stop at my office, grab my commission check and head back to Cornwall, where I stop at my bank and deposit my check.  Relief ... really down to the wire this time. 

It's Friday and it's a beautiful day and right now, life is good.  And I have my hat to prove it.

Just another day in the life of a Realtor ...
