"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Happy Halloween!

It was a bright and beautiful day after a night of beneficial rain. The wind was brisk...but the sun was warm making it a wonderful day for a walk. 

And because of the wind and rain...the ground was covered with leaves. I love October...I hate to see it go. 

I couldn't believe the intensity of the red and yellow in this leaf...especially when I held it in the light! To think that this was bright green is awe inspiring. 

And the light and colors in the kitchen window were awe inspiring too.

Happy Halloween! 
I've enjoyed these little guys on my window sill all month long.
It's time to tuck them away for another year.


We had our one token trick or treater stop by just a few minutes ago....

with a wagon collecting food for our neighborhood food drive. 

Way to go Liam and family!

    I love that red and yellow leaf and the heart stained glass in the background of your Halloween critters! We had a handful of little costumed kiddies - so cute and polite with many thank you's for their treats! Another Halloween in the books and tonight we get an extra hour of sleep! Happy November!! 🍁

      Thanks for celebrating with me Judy! My sister gave me that little mosaic stain glass piece...I've always loved it. How fun to have a few kids show up at your door! Bring on November!
