Thank you for sharing. Our Autumn ritual was to go to the Apple Squeeze at the community garden. It was a lovely day with kids running around, delighted to help manage the contraptions to cut up, then squeeze the apples. The vegetable beds are being cleared of the dead vegetation, having given us such lovely produce in the summer. And all around the garden the trees are beginning to drop their golden leaves. We left well satisfied, with jars of delicious apple juice.
Thank you for these reminders to slow down and enjoy all the changes that surround us this time of year. I've been making a lot of bone broth and craving more baked goods as well! :)
I've enjoyed your posts for over a year now, having joined substack in March 2023. I've especially loved listening to your readings. This archival post you've shared today is one of my favorite. The poem by Margaret Wise Brown reminds me that she is one of the finest children's poets.
Perhaps you might be interested in a seasonal post I shared last year. It includes two poems about Christmas lights and a story about the full-moon birthday of my second grandchild. I know. I'm self-indulgent here and feel free to ignore it. But I share your full moon exstacy. She is a powerful lady. Thank you, dear lady.
Love this! Thank you for sharing! I was witness to numerous groups of Canadian geese overhead as they left a nearby pond. They were coming towards me and they were so low that I could hear the buzzing sound of their wings, as well as their loud vocals , of course. I loved seeing the setting sun against their white feather bellies 😊
I find it always stunning when you take a picture and it turns out to be different than what you expected.

I like to think of the changing seasons to take stock of where we are in our loves.
It's also an opportunity to declutter both mentally and physically.
Yes, cleaning gardens and making stew is part of it. But there is much more.

Making pumpkin bread NONSTOP! I’m out of control!

I feel a little envious. It's spring here, so the summer heat is on its way. And our summers can be blistering. I'm already wishing for autumn.
