Oh I believe that I can write now... I have calmed down a bit.
Friends, the subject matter of my last post may have been intense,
but I can only sit back for so long while terrible
things happen while not saying my peace.
Thank you for being supportive of that.

Life in November has been interesting.
It is now Mrs. Claus season and I an humbled to
be that part in everyones Christmas story that I meet as such.
Lots to get done, costuming mended, cleaned and added to...
and my health has been a major focus for me.
When I work, I like to be in the best shape I can be.
Purchasing a simple portable treadmill has made the recovery
period of my knee injury so much easier.
A small trip is planned between performances in the next few weeks,
Thanksgiving, Family Christmas and Christmas Day too...
a whole lot to be planning for... as the house necessitates attention this
time of the year as well.
Is anyone else having increased rodent issues already?
In the house and the coops, they have been tenacious.
Maybe a sign of a cold winter season ahead?
This was my 3rd annual visit to my favorite church Christmas fair.
This year I found a wonderful new creche for my grandchildren to
play with, a huge glass vintage ball, a needle pointed Vermont Country Store pillow
and some darling ornaments.
It was such a fun way to kick off the holiday season.
The foggy warm water cooler air mornings of November will soon
make way for colder weather to come through.
And with every blast I so want to hide under layers of warmth,
drink hot beverages and never come out.
But as I get used to it, forcing my way through the days, I appreciate
it and welcome the changes.
This week seemed to move very fast.
I must remember to be in the moment more than focusing on the past or future.
That was one lesson that I learned this summer.

I love squash and it is plentiful now at the farms.
I keep it in a cool dark place so I can enjoy it all winter but cooking it can
be challenging.
Thank goodness for cooks better than I!
Genius!
Now I can get to making the soups, puddings and roasted veggies
so much quicker.
I was able to spend time with a few farmer friends this week.
How fortunate I am to live in such a beautiful community that grows
some of our food.
The talks were slow, we barely looked at our phones as we chatted
how life has affected us....for farmers no matter what happens in the
world they still get up at 3 to milk cows- and they would have it no other way.
I like that way of thinking.
This photo was taken at one of the farms on my *farm tour* Friday.
That gorgeous sun still greening up the plants even as the energies fade.
For those like me who needed to read this on a Sunday evening....
Tomorrow is the beginning of a fresh week.
If you stay in the moment, it will be a series of wins strung together.
It will be purposeful, it will be glorious and it will be rememberable .
We are in our healing era... mind, body & soul.
Have a lovely evening.
xoxo
