Life Moves Pretty Fast

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”  ―  Ferris Bueller It's so true. Last week I was checking out my many rose bushes and wondering when they would bloom. They seem late this year.  A few days later I was outside chasing one of my little dogs. She is losing her hearing and sight, but I swear her little legs are running faster than ever. It's never been like her to run off. While I was running after her (or more like hobbling and limping) I noticed a couple of bushes with a few roses.  After I got the pup settled and inside, I went back out to cut a few roses. The bees even took pity on me and allowed me to cut some of their sage blossoms. I placed the pretty little vase from my Mother's collection by a few Paris mementos.

'Tis the Season: October 31

It's truly my favorite season. After a long hot summer, I welcome the cooler days and chillier nights. The days smell wonderful of harvest, wine crush, and the slow decay of the leaves as their organic compounds break down, creating the classic musky-sweet smell of a leaf pile. 

There are fond memories of this season, as a child, I loved the Halloween parties at school and going out in the cool evening visiting friends and family trick 'r treating. Even the menus change with soups, stews, fruit pies, and the smell of spiced warm cider. 

Last year during quarantine and with plenty of time on my hands I decorated throughout the house with Halloween decor, including a black Halloween tree. This year? Not so much. I decided to keep it somewhat simple. Happy Fall! Happy Halloween!
