I'm just running behind a bit on his finish ~

... And then it was.

and I am ready ~

 

I'll once again prepare my old farmhouse

~ for the coming cold months...

 

 

... and remember the important things. 

I'll savor the colors & scents of this season ~

 

and keep them in my heart

for another year...

~ another turn of the Wheel.

... trying to stop time to enjoy it's swift passing,

before my beloved Autumn is gone again.

 

and feed my soul with it's beauty and bounty,

and hold close the memories that will be made 

... with my needle & thread ~

and of friendships and family.

it's true.

Happy Autumn, 

and a Blessed Mabon to you!

~ Memorial Day ~

"I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; 

I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags 

were appropriate on Decoration Day.  

I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it.  

We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did." 

~Benjamin Harrison

Wishing you all a peaceful & safe

Memorial Day weekend...
