I had a very difficult week. I won't go into details but I will say this: coaxing a cold, wet puppy to go and do "her business" while holding on to an umbrella that seemed to have a life of it's own, while pushing away a poncho that kept slapping my face, was not easy. To make matters worse, once Abby realized there was mud to play with, my struggles took Herculian proportions! But then, on Friday, after a rainy start, my favorite month arrived in full glory. I ventured out to check the damage made by the storms and was thrilled to find these survivors buried under broken branches and dead leaves:
The incredible light that seemed to come from within each and every branch made it's way into my spirit...
And so I spent Saturday morning re-arranging this...
and that...
and this too...
At the end of every season, I can't help but think on how the wheels of time keep turning and how important it is to live each day to the fullest.
I roamed about the house and felt the power of the sunlight filtering through...
In between changing and arranging I paused for a while and said good-bye to the pretty Summer blooms...
I also said good-bye to this little fairy that sleeps on the foot of my bed from Spring to Summer...
It got a little crazy as boxes were moved about and little witches started to appear...
There was a lot to be done but golden trees were calling...and so was Abby...
My dear friends, I wish you Diamond Days, full of magic sparkles, crunchy leaves, cool, brisk air and above all, a peaceful heart. Happy October! XO
