Autumn's Song

There's a warbling melody towards the West in the pines of the hill as the sun rises in the East. Light dusky blue takes over the shadow of cobalt held by the moon and stars. Farmlands awaken with  earthsong of every animal greeting the new day.  Wildflowers lift there sleepy heads to say hello as the morning commences.

 Turkey vultures sit in the Raven Wood holding court before heading out to feed and do damage control. Scratchury of claws on bark, scurrying to the ground to prepare for Winter's icy grasp, squirrels march about. Sitting on the porch outside... looking in as a new day breaks and opportunities open.

 P.S. I'm feeling the extra sacredness of Autumn mornings, what is your favorite sacred morning ritual? If you greet the morning it will rise to greet you.

October Musings

Ahhh October you barely arrived and is as equally swift at flying into November. This month has been busy Y'all ! October has always been a collaborative of birthdays, anniversary and general holiday merriment.

 Last week the Hubby and I celebrated our 17 yr wedding anniversary. We went to a local Italian Dive in Magnolia called Pizzaiolo's. I had this big Mango Margarita with a spinach mushroom calzone. The Man had a philly cheese steak. 

On the crafting front, I've been mostly making garb accessories for myself to wear to work at The Texas Renaissance Festival. I do sales at a Fantasy Photography shop 322 called Whimsys Muse. If you happen to be at the festival stop by and say hello.

Weekend 3's theme was Pirates. I took a cue from my favorite Rum soaked pirate Jack sparrow and created some hair trinkets. This was a crafting project I really enjoyed and might add to my Gypsy Spirit Rising creations.

A quick headshot before heading out the door. The accessories stayed in place under my former beach sun hat converted into a tricorn. Did I mention I love dressing up! Me thinks this is also my Halloween getup.

As the month is winding down we have a 9th Birthday coming up for {M} celebrated on Halloween with a Monster Mash Birthday Bash. So much more but I wanted to share a few tidbits with y'all on the blogosphere.

🦇 Many Spooky Blessings in your Hallow Endeavors 🎃

Oopps I Done It Again

I played with my blog layout because I didn't like the massive size the photos were in posts and other quirks. I forgot to download a copy of my layout and had to start from scratch. Apology's if you have stopped by for a visit and things were out of whack. So I have scrambled hastily to get back together my  list of blogs I follow. Please be dears and leave your link back in comments so I can add you back to the sidebar. Okay frustration rant over for now. Here's an Autumn photo to enjoy for stopping in.

Fall has arrived in H.E.B. Magnolia

The Color of Change

We have grown tired of looking at oatmeal colored walls streaked with hand prints and such other marks left behind which could not be scrubbed off. A weekend date to The Home Depot (when me and the Hubby run errands :) resulted in the purchase of Glidden Blue Forest. Elated to renovate and refresh our space we knocked it out the next day. But then...........

I got depressed. The rooms were so much darker and depending on the time of day really dungeon-ess . The Hubby loved it, it's a very masculine color and I'm used to light bright and beachy. Perusing Pinterest and a trip to the Thrift Stores was the remedy to my mental dilemma.

Enter the Zen Zone. A peaceful, tranquil space in which I unwind  and find space to join my mat and immerse myself back into yoga again. Without change we cannot transition, ain't that the truth! So you can say the Blue Forest is growing on me. We still have our bedroom and bathroom coastal to escape to. I'm in love with the coral orange accents throughout the room, very Autumnal. Look out for my Hallowed Home update soon.

Speaking of weather, Imelda dropped a wrath load of rain upon us. By some miraculous looping of the storm we escaped mass flooding. Many counties around us are putting back the pieces again. We had moved here in 2017 right after Hurricane Harvey had hit and yet here we are in Texas enduring everything this bipolar weather brings. I can honestly say most Texans have hearts as big as there state. How's the weather in your corner of the globe? Calender says October but its still hot as hell over here.

Back From Hiatus

Hello everyone I'm back from an unintended blogging hiatus. Summer had some adventures, school is back in session and my season of work outside of the home is upon me. That being said I will be time traveling in time with my posts sharing current happenings and memories. I have acquired new followers in my absence and would like to ask a favor of you. Could you please leave a comment and link back to your site so I can follow back. The interface on blogger follow has changed and I can no longer click on your  pic to direct me to your online space. Thanks in advance!  I look forward to all October has to offer and hope to visit and catch up with everyone soon, until then be at peace in life's current flow.
