As nights lengthen and darkness prevails, weave yourself into these 3 word tapestries…
if you dare to experience #poetry that tests all edges, shatters stone walls, defies all monsters, swoons the soul into peace and reminds us that ducking for cover is not living🍂🍁

A gallery of oftentimes overlooked autumn colors hidden along a forest path carpeted in pine needles…🍄🍄‍🟫🍂

A last scene of summer with a dedicated little bee laboring mightily upon the blush pink face of an open rose🐝🌸

After stellar performances the last two mornings, the moon was feeling shy today and hid behind a curtain of storm clouds… so the sun decided to steal the show in a costume of audacious colors 🌕☀️

A #HarvestMoon pouring out a flood of light, silver plating defined edges, causing a misty bridal veil of earthbound fog to glow, and creating shadows far darker and tenebrous than any the sun can cast🌕🍂

Rather than the sun, the harvest #moon painted the dawn skies this day… giving Orion a rare backdrop of serene blue and setting all ablaze in shades of pumpkin orange 🌕🌠

Thanks! Here’s the promised derpy smile!
Yes, I am blessed to have my daughter-in-law as she is an absolutely beautiful soul.

I did also tell her that I know what it’s like to have a “difficult” 👀🤔 mother-in-law, and as far as I was concerned I trust my son’s choice and she needn’t worry about me!💕

A vignette I wrote about the quiet power of books that may seem trivial until the weighty presence of Time is added to the equation 📚📖

Yes!

Pratchett was right about many things and he was spot on with how the upper classes live… for 20 years I’ve worked for the uber-wealthy and their homes are all stuffed with possessions that never wear out or need replacing.

And I’m a jeans and comfy sweatshirts kind of girl!😄🍃

Seven miles spent beneath the silent stars… with crystal air magnifying their sparkling faces and making them seem close enough to reach one down to use as a guiding lantern through any sort of darkness.

We are all made of stars ⭐️ 🌌

A fine example of Sir Terry Pratchett’s “boots theory” of socioeconomics!
Plus that’s a nice-looking belt 😊💰

On little cat feet, the fiery colors of fall are padding silently in, flaming brightly in the corners of eyes thirsty for a change of season🍁🍂

Standing alone far from the mundane on a sublime #October morning in a moment of time and place blending perfectly…
is a blazing yellow reminder that this world is worth saving 🌼🌎

On the first day of #October, a dancing field of impossible yellow flowers turning their joyful faces to their sister sun… mesmerizing 🌼☀️

Did you know that mares can lay eggs that contain all the dreams needed to make up a life?

This #October immerse yourself in The Night Mare as falling leaves dance in chill autumn winds🍁🍂

JMW Turner’s Death on a Pale Horse asks us to consider: what has caused the Reaper himself to succumb to the Scythe? 💀
The Night Mare searches the balance between beauty and violence in Nature, seeking an answer in the land of dreams 🌙🌌

A grey day of light rain made errant shades of blue more vibrant, calling in bees 🐝, a caterpillar 🐛 and an ant 🐜 to visit the borage flowers in the herb garden 🍃

A #MorningWalk over-woven with spiderwebs 🕸️ winnowing the weighty fog for water diamonds to catch the rising light 🍂

🤣🤣🤣🤣… Cheaper by far!
Thank goodness for the coupon.

I couldn’t get over how expensive art supplies were too. A set of decent color pencils was $44.99! How do art students afford what they need these days?🎨
I’ll be using the ones I already have until they’re worn down to nubs at that price.

It was a rainy day yesterday so I decided to go to Michael’s as well thinking nostalgically of the days when I used to do embroidery and knitting 🧶…

one too many a sticker shock later and I’ve decided to stick to writing and drawing for Christmas gifts this year!

The flamboyant colors of summer were showing off on the first bright sunny day for a week, luring in the last of the more intrepid butterflies 🦋 🌺

Some unmistakable signs of #autumn approaching despite warm temperatures… undercurrents of change in a dogwood’s scarlet berries and early leaf colorations and the return of the coyote pack that winters on the edges of our farm🍁🍂

Your #OneGoodThing for today… this beautiful hawk had broken its wing months ago, but after he was rehabilitated he was released back to his home forests and fields 🪶

A sunrise scribbled across the blue with rippling pale mists and clouds done in pinks— the shade of optimism…🌫️💖
