When autumn leaves begin to fall there is a lot of raking up to do. It never ceases to amaze me that when they fall, they don’t get up… nor do they do blow away. They just wait to be picked up. One year I raked them towards the trees and thought to leave them to mulch.. good idea, but it doesn’t happen that way… in the spring, I was left with a real wet mess to clean up. I have been dutifully doing a bag here and a bag there.. but just as I think I have cleared a good portion…. another batch falls from above. The maple has pretty much done its shedding, but the magnolia is still waving its leaves taunting me… c’est la vie… it will happen when it happens. (.. the leaves are so dry they crinkle and crackle when picked up.. notice that crisp smell they can emit. !! . now that is a pleasant surprise when you get a whiff ! )

There will always be a way

If you persist and be creative without giving up, you will find solutions that you had not considered before. ^(PL2020.28)

Have a great start to the week everyone.

btw. pumpkin is a great veggie and so abundant at this time of year.

There is always a turning point. It is important what you do from now. ^(PL2021.27)

With the witching month came a wave of creative energy that needed to be expressed. I took Asia (one of my characters) and gave her a make over, then let her explore. She wandered away into an area she obviously had no business being in….

the plot thickens. I hope to continue with her journey on Flickr.

Meanwhile, what mischief are you up to?

Have a good day everyone, have a BOOOO tee ful week! Make every moment count!

Always do your best to be a better person.

If you are content with the status quo, your progress will stop. Always seek for ways to improve yourself and continue to move forward one step at a time. ^(PL2014.12)

ohhh there is magic in the air, the mystical and the witching themes are everywhere…. ghosts and goblins sneak out of hiding and float happily past on their way to hide-a-way where they can enjoy a ghoulish brew. I tried all day yesterday and the night before to get into the Fifty Linden Friday Halloween venue… there are a ton of free gifts and spooky items to be had.. sale items are all 50 linden. I was determined, I tried again first thing on getting into the office today…. when there is a will, there is always a way!!

I can see some of you shaking your heads.. it is not even mid month yet… let me tell you, there are pumpkins and Halloween decor everywhere ….. I’m not alone in my love of the ” Halloween season” What other time can you take your pet dragon out for a walk. ^wink..

start witching…. have a booootiful day!

Sunday

Feeling tired, worn out, need a break. This rusted beauty above has been sitting on the side of the road for years. I was glad to see it was still there, but it is showing its age. The picture below is from my collection of vintage oldies ( found on Pinterest). These relics are from a different time. Life was slower … the car was an invention that allowed for greater distances to be travelled, in a shorter time. It was the beginning of an era where life would no longer be lived “closer to home”

There was a time, when someone who lived in another village/town/hamlet would be a total stranger, and usually would remain so … because life was lived within the community/parish you lived in. Now we can wake up in one country and go to bed in another … Friends/family can be miles away, Sometimes the physical distance means the only communication is “electronic”…

How many readers remember when the only way we could stay in touch was by “Mail”… when phones were few and far between… How many of you have had a “penpal”… someone who you wrote to .. in a far away place.. and then wait for them to respond… a conversation tooks weeks/months. Sigh.. a trip down memory lane.

Note. I still communicate with two of my “pals” one in New Zealand, the other in NY State..

New Encounters can help you change.

Be up for anything, even if its out of your comfort zone. This is a chance for you to improve yourself as a human being. ^(PL2020.30)

This is the old truck that sits next to the first car.

Cheers everyone.. May your day be blessed with sunshine and friends.

Sometimes, I’m still standing, still around, but simply not seen, there is just too much going on around me, passersby, lost in thought, walk on by. Albeit brief, I enjoyed the visit… please come again soon.

PL Precept # 16 All things progress and develop

PL Precept # 17 All is Essential

Are you too busy all the time? Who schedules your day? There comes a time in life .. when we have to realize that if we are “too” busy, then it is our responsibility to look at what changes can be made… All too often, we apply ourselves to work, or the “wants” of others, and put ourselves last. In the end, we are born into this world on our own, and we will leave it … on our own.

I walked the bog yesterday, first time in awhile where I have gone all the way around, the rain of the other day, left a layer of dampness over everything.. I was delighted to actually see a few mushrooms.
