It's always your best adventure unfolding.

No matter where your day has taken you,
I'm so very pleased that you stopped by to say hello.
Take good care of you.

Back Home Again

Welcome October
it's actually nicer back home than i thought it would be.
Although the weather in Alabama
was by far more like summer.

Enjoying the day at Tate's Farm 
Meridianville, Alabama

An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

But what minutes! 
Count them by sensation,
and not by calendars,
and each moment is a day.
Benjamin Disraeli

The cotton fields of Alabama will give you pause.

They are a sight to behold.

My daughter refers to them as Alabama's snow!

Something about each December for me is to remember and express our past traditions, but I also welcome new and refreshing ideas from outside my norm.

So while we were out and about (waiting for the new Goosebump movie) we came upon

 a special southern style for Christmas tree decorating!

He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Festive pooch for Halloween- brings this quote to mind.

He's a book full of footnotes brought to life.

He's a jacket made of elbow patches.

Rainbow Rowell- from Carry On

Yep, Lyra and her daddy have been busy decorating for Halloween!

"There is something in the autumn 

that is native to my blood

Touch of manner, hint of mood;

And my heart is like a rhyme,

With the yellow and the purple

and the crimson keeping time.

"There is something in October that sets 

the gypsy blood astir:

We must rise and follow her

When from every hill of flame she calls

and calls each vagabond by name."

William Bliss Carman

A Pumpkin's Confession. We've been harvested and hauled. Grown worthy to be carved with faces which smile or groan. We're not a cheesy lot. Perhaps a bit seedy and we'll live forever on FB and Instagram. Pumpkin Bon Appetit!


Ah yes, a most delicious lunch it was.

Like all great travelers,

I have seen more than I remember,

and remember more than I have seen.

Benjamin Disraeli

and still I desire more traveling moments!

Bits and Pieces of October

 Our lives are like quilts
Bits and pieces
joy and sorrow
stitched with love.

Bits and Pieces of October.

  

Black and white is salt and pepper of colors,
for life tastes bland without them.

Vikrmn, Corpkshetra



I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.
L.M. Montgomery

Soon I'll be joining my daughter and 
her girl scout troop for another cemetery tour 
in Alabama, and I'm excited to see the costumed 
actors and hear their stories.

Gnomebody loves you!

Autumn time is football time,

and sudden fast moving thunderstorms!

There are four seasons
winter, spring, summer and
football!


Behold Cardboard Art!

Cardboard has always been a storage thing.
Great for shipping, gifting and storing.
Cardboard has no nutritional value, if it did
 it'd be too tasteless to eat anyway.
But cardboard is great for creating 
silly, scary or happy faces.

The great garden protector 
his job is nearly finished for this season.

Hello sweet Mr. Robot!
Isn't he adorable? Making good use of old things.

It's delightful when your imaginations come true,
isn't it?
L.M. Montgomery

Isn't this just the perfect picture of autumn?
Can anyone have too many Jack-O-Lanterns?
I think not! 

When witches go riding
and black cats are hiding
and black dogs are seen
the moon laughs and whispers,
'tis near Halloween.




I still feel that delightful essence of  childhood
 and the excitement in carving artful faces and bringing these
pumpkins to life and you can't forget the smell of pumpkins in the air!

Oh what fun it is to watch a magician perform 
his own special tricks for treats!


In the art of magic,
keeping a secret is the greatest sleight.

Just having a certain kind of attitude can be magic.
Matt Posner

October reads aren't just for children or the young at heart!


Thanks for stopping by and brightening my day.
Take good care of you.

“We all have an inner voice, our personal whisper from the universe. All we have to do is listen -- feel and sense it with an open heart. Sometimes it whispers of intuition or precognition. Other times, it whispers an awareness, a remembrance from another plane. Dare to listen. Dare to hear with your heart.”
CJ Heck
