Welcome Autumn

Ten Things I Like About Fall

Backyard Burns: We usually start up the fire pit in October, and on good nights with no wind have small burns with the trimmings from our trees. Those quiet, cold nights sitting and watching the flames are always wonderful.

Baking: I always bake more in the fall because of holidays, birthdays and the general need for more substantial meals and snacks. I like baking a lot.

Cooler Season: While summer will always be my favorite season, after a long, wet, hot season like we just had I really don't mind things getting drier and cooler.

End of Hurricane Season: I'm able to relax a little more once the storm season ends.

Halloween: I love handing out candy to trick-or-treaters. Come to my house, I always have plenty.

Making Stews and Soups: Summer is too hot here for heavy meals. I look forward to making bean soup, beef stew, chicken and rice soup, ham and cabbage, etc. again.

My Favorite Person Returns: She will be coming home toward the end of fall. I miss her terribly.

NaNoWriMo: November is National Novel Writing Month. Although I really don't have time, knowing me, I probably will participate again this year.

Sweaters: I can haul out the two I own and actually wear them.

Thanksgiving: My favorite holidays happens.

Wishing

I submitted book one of my NA series for professional review and consideration, and in return I was praised for the work and provided with excellent feedback. Now I have some changes to contemplate, and decisions to make about the future. I have a couple of different directions to take, which makes the deciding part a challenge. At times like these I wish I had a crystal ball so I could see the outcome of every choice. Wouldn't life be easier if we could do that? Image by Matthias Böckel from Pixabay

Downtown Discovery

My guy and I are taking time each week to walk around the downtown areas of places we've never had time before to visit, which is how I came across a lovely fiber art supplies shop wth amazing handspun art yarns and hand-dyed embroidery threads from local artists. Fine silk embroidery thread is literally impossible to find in my part of the country, but not anymore. I also loved the amazing selection of hand-dyed flosses. I even found some tiny seed beads for my current project, and a gift for a quilter friend. While I try to thrift as much as I can for my art quilting and embroidery these days, I love the chance to support our my local weavers and dexters.

Of Kork

On the second day of March I overslept. I spent ten hours sleeping, which is very unusual for me. This is because I've suffered from insomnia most of my life, but since making significant changes (like acquiring my current day job, which allowed me to escape all the toxic people I had to deal with in my old job) I sleep much better. These days I usual manage six or seven hours sleep, and if I'm very lucky eight. But ten? I sleep that much only a couple times a year, and generally only when I'm sick. Dreams might be to blame. I remember the night was filled with them, all lovely. I traveled across Europe, I walked the streets of old cities and met lots of interesting people. In one city I stopped by an engagement party where a very attractive couple were exchanging signed contracts. The groom showed me his, and I read these words: "Course shall become Kork." I understood then that they meant to be together forever, and that it was a reincarnation co...
