"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

Curiously Long

Today was a take care of the house kind of day. I had some carpets and rugs cleaned....and cleaning begets cleaning....and that's never a bad thing. 

If you've been following along for a while...you know one of my mantras this time of year: it's all about the stem!

I enjoy all the colors of summer....but I absolutely adore the colors of fall. And when I'm looking for pumpkins and gourds....it's all about the stem! 

I do like a good curl...but I'll take curiously long too. 

This gourd found a home on my patio fence. 
I'll be keeping my eye out for more interesting stems.

    I DO know—and enjoy—your mantra: it's all about the stem! Love how your gourd seems to have found its clan size- and shape-wise on your patio fence, while simultaneously prompting me to sing the following Sesame Street oldie-but-goodie: "One of these things is not like the others" hahaha! Thanks, MaryAnn!

      Ha ha...that's just what's happening here! I'm humming it in my head right now!

    Oh, yes, Dottie, one of these things is not like the other 😂. I like the fence picture because the long stem is partially silhouetted against the sky.
