Coming up for air, and that means a blog. Or two, in this case.
I'll just give a few quick impressions, for this post:
Playing 'catch the leaf' as the wind blows them off the trees.
(This is a picture of all the leaves I caught during a particularly fruitful walk.)
Reveling in the fall colors.
Starting my first indoor fire in a fireplace (at least as far as I can remember)
I had no idea how much I enjoy creating, having, and tending a fire until I did this. It's absolutely magical. And especially nice as the fireplace insert makes burning wood actually energy efficient and not bad for the environment (it burns up most of the bad stuff that comes out in the smoke). And safe and mostly not smoky. I'm a convert.
As a side note, it's interesting, how 'magical' is one of my favorit words for something I really enjoy. I think that says something about me and what I like. It's true: I quite like magic.
Lots of things to enjoy in this fall season. Continuing to be deeply grateful for the extra time I have due to taking classes a bit slower. It just makes everything better.
I'm thinking about how I'd like to have a habit of being creative every day. That free-flowing creativity I've experienced with a few of my favorite teachers, have been some of my favorite times in my life. So why am I not doing more of it? Haven't yet figured out how I want to incorporate that without making myself super busy again, but I think I'm going to give it a try some time soon.
