pumpkins and gold

I am full of 'wishes' right now, (for lack of a better word) shall I make a list? hmmm.... I think I shall, and it will go something like this:

1) that I had a tree house to escape up into tonight, in a huge tree-the kind with golden leaves (this time of year) and a deep dark trunk, and curvy elegant branches that reached toward the moon.
2) that my computer would break. I wouldn't be typing this. ...maybe i shouldn't wish for it to break? ....maybe just that i was in a time and place where there were none.
3) the kind of rain they get in Oregon and Ireland.
4) that roof in india,....and the warm breeze.....
5)to be with a few people that are just content to be. nothing elaborate.
6) to be in a fairy tale.
7) a very small cabin with a fireplace, hot chocolate or tea....blankets, and someone to have good conversation with....or good silence with. take your pick.
8) a good book(story), a deserted house, no plans, free time without a limit, and ....a blanket....and a seat by a window.

....I will be honest, most of my idealizing involves coziness, and one form or other of either blankets or something warm to drink, or preferably both.

As to #6, I would like to hold out hope that I am already in one. Even though it always looks different than I would expect.
that's kind of the point, right?

well. nothing elaborate for tonight. The city just always makes me long for escape, or at least simplicity.
And the country....well, it sometimes made me long for the city.....at least I used to think
at the time, but I don't think it was ever quite as true as I thought.

oh and I forgot #9 ....so here's #9

9) a pumpkin patch, hay ride and don't forget: a maize maze. oh bliss.

and no, i'm not one of those 'ten-point people'

there's only 9.
deal with it.
