Quotes of the season:

'No winter lasts forever, no spring skips its turn.'
--- Hal Borland

'Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile.'
--- William Cullen Bryant

'Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.'
--- Albert Camus

Its getting a bit chilly here, a preview of the artic blast of winter to come. I have been watching the leaves falling and they are all but gone now. the squirrels have been eating all the acorns and hitting poor little Sasha on the head .. and then of course .. the chase is on .. they do love to tease her.

As the Holidays are approaching don't get caught up in all that frantic zooming around .. take time for yourself, make some gifts as they are the most cherished.

And please, take note of family and friends.. this time of year some folks fall into a depression. So, give them a hug and make them smile.

stay cozy and warm,

Boo! - Scary day(s) ahead!

The other nite my dearest friend (Ms Gina Pieretti) and I went into Manhattan.

It was one of those crisp, clear nites and Gina took this picture from the FDR Drive. We were driving south bound. (On our way to Little Italy / Chinatown).
If you notice in the top 'left hand' corner ..

there seems to be 'lights' floating.
No explanation.

Just thought I would share this ..

This is one of my all time favorite time of year.
The summer heat is gone the crisp Autumn air ..
Harvest is in, time to snuggle and get cozy ..

Some trivia on Halloween / Samhain / All Saints Day -
Of course - The kids (and some adult folks) enjoy dressing up for the Halloween parties, trick or treat.. those scary haunted houses, spooky stories. Yikes!

Then for those who celebrate Samhain (pronounced 'sow-en') which derives from the Gaelic 'Samhuin' .. the time to honor our ancestors, celebrating those who have died, to celebrate the connection between this world and the next. Sunset on Samhain is the beginning of the Celtic New Year.

Around the eighth century, the Catholic Church decided to use November 1st as 'All Saints Day'. A smart move on their part, as the local pagans were already celebrating that day anyway. So it made sense to use it as a church holiday.

Another scary day coming up is Election Day.
This coming Tuesday November 4th is the Presidential Election.
I pray hard for this country.
The large deficit, unemployment, foreclosures ..
just a scary scary time for America I think ..

There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.

and the oldest and strongest kind of fear ...
is fear of the unknown.

Fear is nature's warning signal to get busy.

Labor Day ~ End of Summer ~!

The weekend is winding down .. the weather has truly been glorious.
My garden is wild .. for lack of a better term, and I know soon it will settle down into the 'Autumn' look. The colors changing .. this is such a visual season for me ..!!

This week, has been a political bonanza to say the least.
The Democratic nomination of Mr Obama was history in the making.
Then we have the Republican rebuttal with Ms. Palin ..

My dearest and oldest friend Kat and I were on the phone ranting and raving watching history unfold on TV ...

Though I know a lot of people are over saturated with all the political hoopla, if you are interested in an honest and refreshing view point, please visit a friend of mine's blog Ms Sarah Campbell over at the Herbs from the Labyrinth Blog and read:: Two messages from Starhawk at the Republican National Convention.

Then, for this month's reading from Kat, check out her RockTarot.com
Be sure to read her 'goddess speak' column on the right hand side of the page,as New Yorkers .. 9/11 has not been forgotten. We have friends and family members that are still healing from that horrific day.

Speaking of which .. I have been watching some movies that really were an eye opener.
'Stop Loss' and 'Kite Runner' .. two very moving and intense movies. I am not into watching war movies or anything violent. However, these are stories that need to be heard.

For some really beautiful photography of nature .. my friend Sue over at Farm at Coventry Blog is a visual explosion of beauty!
