It’s that time of year.. to transform yourself into the most abundant and glorious version of yourself…

Summer moving into fall calls to dropping leaves, to reveal the seeds within everything.

The fruits of your labor are lavish. The listening hand begins. How much to harvest and when?

The great waltz, the silent run from the ball, exalts the dormant confines of winter. A cold hand clasp.

There is no time to waste…spin your cocoons, harvest your berries, bury your roots and get ready to tuck inside.

I predict a cold one.

Fill your tanks people!

Catching all the feels lately!

Please follow and stare my budding business!

It’s been a piece by piece process and now all that’s missing is you my friend!

Create for the sake of creation, explore without expectation.. all paths lead me home!

Please consider sharing the journey with me!

Taking the plunge into a situation of limited or no income, is a bit daring a bit foolish.

I hope that after years of preparation that this is a triumphant go of it!!

Certainly it’s smoke.

A reminder of how even apart we are closely connected.

It strikes a strange pallor.

Reflections of their hue cast a glow through my sliding glass doors beconing.

Look…

There is no scent. No cloud.

Just a standing filter.

The sun more like moon shifted itself as I captured its mask in frames.

These are very special.. so appreciated. I am grateful I get to take this time to clean them and make them my own.

I’m excited to see what shall be created with these. Stay tuned!!

All things growing and good slime mold tells the tale of soil that will be lush for growing…
