WHOOSH.

Hallooooo, Twinklestars! It's finally me, back with you as we all start falling into Fall!

In North Florida, the much anticipated, long heralded arrival of the autumnal equinox brought on a rush of 79 degree weather....followed five minutes later by 80 degree weather...now holding steady at 90 degree weather. For now. Until the next storm-and-cold-front. Le sigh.

So, my joi de autumnal vivre is not measured in farenheits. It is a feeling, a kaleidoscope of colors, and heightened senses, and savory calories. It's a  happy melancholy pensive magic mosaic of dreamy thoughtfulness. It's dramatic, in a humble way-you know? 

I hum Vivaldi, and sprinkle cinnamon on apples, and hang fall leaves of orange and red across shelves and in crocks. I want to BAKE and clean and breathe deep.

There IS something about Fall that changes my sense of time. And perspective.

I want good book reads on the back porch swing with steaming cups of coffee. I want scary movies and dark nights and candlelight. I want caramel apples and candied yams and pumpkin pies. The taste of smoke, the smell of pine. Cold cheeks. Wind kissed lips.

 

And witchy trips---parties! :) Oh my goodness, I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to the 27th!  Will you all be attending our favorite  Vanessa the gyspy witch goddess' best annual bash? I will I will!! (And I could not love that owl any more than I do!)

As a matter of fact, the house is transforming itself almost magically in anticipation.....

 

And cobwebs in every corner! (Well, ok, maybe the cobwebs are less about magic and more about a testament to how much I have enjoyed being outside this summer.)

See you soon! xoxox

Oh Roo, I have MISSED YOU SOOOO! I got your e-mail and was jumping with joy this morning to hear from you. I wrote you back but for some reason my phone is blitzing out and won't send it, ugh. It will be on it's way as soon as I figure it out (b/c I'm too lazy to re-type it here on the computer, hahah ;) How have you been?! I'm so looking forward to Vanessa's Halloween party too, I just saw the invite!

Big hugs to you...so glad you are back in action ;)

Hello Lovely Roo!
It is so nice to come back to your neck of the woods here in blogland and envelope myself in all of your wonderful autumnal thoughts for the senses.

Also, I do like the first quote and think it is a very important thing for us to remind ourselves each day. We are all connected and all of our actions do effect others.

Hugs and love to you!
