Aw October

 

It is with such relief I greet October. If there has been a year of testing it has been the year of no rain. With October on the calendar now, there is hope of rain and of cooler temperatures. Already I see signs of the trees beginning to go to sleep. I see how tired the trees are of the heat and they seem to reflect my desire to dream in front of a log fire, watching the flames dance and change colors. Maybe I love October because my first baby was born in October and even though she is a Mom with her own kids, I don't think that first experience of holding her will ever leave my mind. Nothing had ever prepared me for that and I knew until that moment I had never known I would be a  woman who would walk in front of a train for those I loved.

 

Even though the mornings are beginning to be a bit chilly. I am looking forward to seeing the geese fly overhead. We have a sump almost next door, and I see the ducks and the egrets and yes, even the geese, who have waited too long at night and find that a place to rest until early morning when they go flying on their way.  We have had flocks of hummingbirds flying in now daily. I saw one the other days that was iridescent yellow and green. I have never seen that color before, it was so fast looking at me, I still wonder if that is what I saw.

  

 I got a new phone yesterday. I am excited about the camera and the video. Now if you tried to call me or text me, I am afraid you are out of luck. I am hoping I know how to use the phone soon. I had crash course in I Phone yesterday. My brain still hurts. That is why, I am thinking it might be nice to live here for a couple of days.  Out in the woods in that kind of cabin. 

Oh, I sold a rug. From my Etsy store. Now I lay awake at night and wonder if when the buyer gets the rug if she will want to send it back. I am scared. It is one of my chicken rugs. You know pattern by me, my art work. I laid awake last night and worried. I do hope she likes it. Now I feel like I have a job. Which is good. I needed a kick in the pants. 

I hope you have a lovely October day. Isn't there something nice to saying that? I think there is, and I woke up and thought, " Oh, lovely, lovely October. I even got up and put up my fall wreaths. 

Have a lovely day,

~Kim~
