The girl of a thousand projects (all going at once) rested her head in a big fluffy white bed, at the end of a long busy day. Her dreams fluttered around and played crazy little games. The stories in her dreams had strange twists and turns, and could in fact be quite exhausting - and yet were welcomed for being so exciting...
So, she snoozed on and on as night turned to day, and awoke her with crashes and thuds. A wild wind danced around as trees swayed with great gusto and a windmill outside creaked as it turned at top speeds.
Autumn had arrived, yes. Yes indeed...
She slowly came to life, opening her eyes, her body aching from days of hard work. Then she heard a strange sound. Stranger than words, an animal? A cry? She grabbed her camera, just in case, and raced out of bed, bumping into things and tripping with that morning groggy head...
Why, it was...
A raven. Quite large.
Oh, how Edgar Allen Poe she thought, as she curiously grinned, then whispered the words -
Oh Autumn, you humor me so...
The raven looked her right in the eye and let out a bizarre little cry. She was sure he said, "Well, hello..."
He flew all around her then swooped down quite low, and she knew, this season was bound to be more than magical...
She skipped over to her her radishes and bell peppers and baby cantaloupes. Good Morning Babies, she called out, as she did every day. And then gasped in sheer dismay...
It was as if they had never existed. Those babied beloved plants. Vanished over night.
Mister Orange Eyed bird (who is ever so nosy) flew over to his regular branch and sang the most precious tune...
The girl sighed, but before she could even think to cry for her wee little garden, she spotted two rabbits, skinny as could be. And thought, well I hope it was those two, who had a great feast. Poor little skinny cottontails...
And she let it go.
Letting go, is that September's lesson? It certainly seems so. It brings a sense of calm with it...
So, with that, we Welcome Autumn and all the scents of spices and the tinges of crisp cool air it brings.
Tonight, we light the first candle in the wee little office, sitting room, cozy space, packaging area. Just a few more days of hard work for the space to be complete, so close!!
Then it is back to play time ;)
