(Paper pockets filled with wool...dried grass or dried herbs)Good afternoon. It is an absolutely perfect pre-Fall day here in Vermont. A crisp breeze is blowing, the sun is shining, leaves are scattered about the lawn....dried and crisp...they crunch under your feet when you walk through them.. I have dough rising for sausage bread..and I am enjoying an afternoon cup of coffee. Goodness how I LOVE this time of year. We are having to close the windows at night now...on Saturday, Mark and his father spent the afternoon cleaning chimneys and preparing our wood stoves for their first fire of the season.........I was inside making beef stew and molasses cookies.....Yesterday, I bought apples for apple crisp.......I saw 22 turkeys on my walk this morning and their chatter can be heard coming from the woods throughout the day........
This time of year is so inspiring to me..I do enjoy Summer but it seems to zaps my creativity...BUT..when the smell of dried leaves starts floating through the air....
(A wee brown bear)
a spark is lit inside me......it is as if when it's just about time to light a fire in the wood stove...a fire has been lit under my creativity and I can not create fast enough...papers float about with countless ideas...all anxiously awaiting to take shape...
(Paper packets stacked and tied....)
Everything I see, hear or smell, sparks a new idea..I LOVE IT! I spring out of bed before the sun is even close to rising...something that never happens for me in the Summer, the house is tidy..a bit of baking has been done, the animals have been fed and I'm off for a walk by 7:30....it truly is a magical time of year for me. I think there is some sort of vitamin mixed in with
(A sweet honey colored bear with his pumpkin)
the Fall breeze..perhaps it floats down with the dried leaves and upon breathing it in....it energizes.
(My favorite little one for the Open House thus far....a sweet little black bear cub)
I'm off now to continue working on my Open House inventory....I'm having so much fun and am so excited for it!!!
Wishing you a wonderful evening :)Doreen

The dish spits past the mimic! Outside the libel refrains the possible bandwidth. A psychological voter objects to a higher syndicate. A mad detector glances the limiting opus.
