It’s PUMPKIN Time!

The weather is cooling…okay, maybe not cooling, really, but the heat wave is breaking. A bit. My cataract surgery is done and my eye healing well enough that I can risk dirt or debris being blown about, and the two together mean, I can start gardening again. I’m heading to Destin on Saturday (a 7 hour drive, eeek) to see my grandson, the adorable Kaelen Lake, and when I get back, I’m expecting to weed and prune like a thing possessed, and to start planting some new fall and winter goodies in my beds.

It seems like a very long time since my garden has looked good. Oh, wait. It HAS BEEN a very long time since my garden looked good. Hence the lack of posts and photos. But I’ve got both of my new books up and published on Kindle, and one nearly ready to go to print, so I’m somewhat caught up on my writing. It should be easier to find time each day to do a bit of yard work, and I’m soooo looking forward to it. Don’t you miss it when you can’t garden?

It’s nearly time for fall migrants and winter visitors to start showing up at my feeders, too, for a bit of extra color and interest. Things are happening! Life is moving on, in spite of some of the troubles in the country today. And if you look around you with an open heart and mind, you can still find the Magic in the every day world.

Magic is good. 🙂 (Almost as good as an ear kiss!)

Happiness is a Big, Orange Pumpkin

Hope you are enjoying this beautiful day you’ve been given, and making the most of every moment of it! Just wanted to point out my new poll. My very favorite time of year is approaching, and I was just wondering what YOURS is? Are you an autumn person, crazy about cool, crisp weather, frosted pumpkins, and falling leaves? Do you love the winter, with days on the ski slopes, or making snowmen, and mugs of hot chocolate after? Is the season of rebirth, spring, your favorite time of year? With daffodils in every yard, and birds returning home to nest? Or are the long, hot days of summer, cookouts on the patio, and heading to the lake for the weekend your idea of paradise? I’ve already voted for pumpkins and falling leaves, myself. Waiting to see what you think! And I know there are only four seasons, but I couldn’t make the “Other” option disappear, so if you love all seasons equally, I guess you can use that space to write “All of the Above.” 🙂

Happy voting! And as I was reminded on my other blog, Bookin’ It, today is the last day of summer, officially. ENJOY IT TO THE MAX! That’s an order from your Granny!
