Autumn is definitely one of my favorite times of year. The first being spring. I like seeing the colors of seasons change and watch the earth prepare herself for the long winter sleep. the Solstice brings about many changes. Soon pumpkins, cornstalks, and oversized spider webs will adorn homes in spirit of All Hallows Eve and children will be abound in costume all hoping to fill a bucket with free candy that they can gorge on for at least one night before it is put on the top shelf, out of reach, to grow stale... The leaves will continue to change, falling on the breeze and cold November rain will come and like a tailor's shears render the trees bare of their adornment to reveal the elegance of the network of branches underneath. The spirit of the North shall follow and begin his ride across the lands in which we dwell, turning skies gray and the earth Mother white and we all will sleep with her until the Eve of Christmas and then the world will be abustle until the holidays of the season pass.
Just a little passage to set the season ahead fresh in our minds. Some dread the weather but I think if we all take just a moment, we can find something serene, something wondrous in the days ahead.
My posts to the blog will be a bit slow in the next few months as I have some shows back-to-back and need to prepare as well as find time to enjoy the fall through my daughters eyes.
Soon to come: Candle/tobacco boxes, medicine cups, and York County updates.
Until next time, I remain
