A Season Full Of Color


It finally feels like Autumn in Summerland. Not that the view from my window reveals this: as I gaze outwards, I still see nothing but green everywhere. But the past few days have brought with them cooloer temperatures, cloudier skies, and the rarity of rain. As the days begin to darken, I feel my body longing to hunker down and hibernate.

Before I moved to Summerland, Autumn was always my favorite season. Although I have little practical use for them these days, I still keep a stash of supplies on hand to remind me of this. Today, I pulled out my stash and began to play with some scraps. The result? A Season Full Of Color!

    Honey why oh why can't I be like you. If only I could live close to you and you could inspire me to do something creative like your lovely pieces. I love this and the name.
    Mad at me for getting nothing done today. I woke up in pain and let it steal my whole day.
    So hate those days.
    Love this post and how you write and create
    Love ya
    Maggie
