October

October is known as
the Season of the Ancients.

It is the season of reflection.

I gaze about my yard.
I am remembering.

It is October.
I am decorating.

I am co-creating with Nature.

I am celebrating.
I am connected.
~Happy October~

Your gazing ball is lovely - what a beautiful spot to sit and reflect.

Dear Deb,
I had read that gazing balls once were known as "Witch's balls". They were used so that one could look out the window and see who was approaching. The ball I have is a small version that sits by the front walk in October.
The orange ball is a large tree ornament I bought last year when I began using the "witch's ball" as a new October motif!
So far I have not come up with my new motif for 2007. I am almost finished decorating the house so maybe I will think of a fun new item to add in.
I am reflecting on this past growing season. It was a diificult spring for me and I think letting the gardens go wild was a good idea. Doing butterfly gardening is very enjoyable.

Dear Mari-Nanci,
I do like the details of life!
I get ideas and try to find ways to photograph them!
I would love to get a macro lens.
Since I had to replace my camera I am waiting to get the macro. My husband thinks I am doing fine without it.
With a macro I could photograph more "ideas" not just what I see.
I love the idea of photographing ideas! I can almost "see" them floating about in the air.
I am a romatic....practical romantic.

Dear Mary,

"Lean forward...
Gaze into my ball...
Look deeply into the past...
Close your eyes ...
Remember..."

It is October!
My hat is rather pointy and I am stirring up all sorts of magic.

Boo!
Sherry
