Pumpkin Carriage? I am Cindersoot of my little world. I run around dirt laden lands, carrying this here and that there, and cleaning this and rearranging that. Stopping to paint & make clay creatures a little here and in the midst of doing that remembering another thing I had to do, and so off I run to do that. Insanity. But good insanity that keeps me on my toes.
Luckily, some nice fella gets me. I mean really gets me. And leaves me treats on the stoop to my new home office space, so that I might stop and breathe and enjoy the last week of October. What? When? Where? October? I thought it was July?
But wait, before I babble incessantly about nonsense, let me say the few things I have on my mind that I want to share.
First of all, the virtual Halloween party was a delightment and I am so so so humbled by the amazing participation and fun party posts I got to see. I can't ever thank you enough. I just can't.
But I can sure try ;) T H A N K Y O U !!
It is all a big blur, sort of like real life parties are, haha! It took me from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday to try to make oodles of visits. If I didn't visit you it was not intentional. I tried my bestest, I did. Next time we have a party, it will be a two day event (or more). One day to visit 300 people is a little more than crrrrazy ;) ;)
Speaking of crazy, this month has been so crazy busy. Where has it gone? I make sure to squeeze in time to enjoy my little world. It is so important, and I hope you set a little time aside for that as well?
The oodles of sunflowers I planted from seeds (you got to see the seedlings growing a few posts ago) are blooming, and it is still a bit warm here, cooling off at night.
Growing is such an amazing thing.
Whether it is growing flowers...
Or, growing babies (furry baby in this case)...
Or even growing love (actually these two act as if they never have lived without each other)...
Growing in every way. Just a lovely thing indeed...
These two play, and they both hold their mouths open just a tinge, but never bite. Funny little furry games...
They search for rodents together. Yucky yucky, and they succeed! Eeeeks. The rodents are trying to take over our world here. We are trying the peppermint oil technique these days. Alas, we are sure they are running a full fledged "speakeasy" in our crawl space...
Oh and, the pups even lollygag on warm days together...
Lazy days...
Papa and puppy. Oooooooo, lovely little love.
A man and his pup. Oh, you should hear Mister talk to Matty. Nothin' sweeter in the world (or at least in my world), me thinks...
A little fur baby love, just for you. Matty snippet from almost two weeks ago. He is growing too fast for words. This was his discovery of flowing water. He loves water and goes in the dog pool all the time. (nevermind my annoying voice)
And while Matty plays and Baby snoozes, a pumpkin vine that almost died, thrives...
I wonder if it might ever gift a tiny pumpkin? Either way, I love this vine. Grown from a found old seed.
Oh and, I have been forgetting to tell you, so I took a little video so you would believe me ;)
Even though I roam around alone most of my days, I am always in the company of much chatter. Might I add, this isn't even a crazy chatter day. This is a regular birdling coffee club day, right outside our windows.
This goes on all day, every day. I just looooove those birds. Cuties! (more close-ups at 53 seconds and 2:02)
It is important to appreciate and embrace your life. Just as it is. Don't you think?
I must be off for now, but I will be back soon. I was in town all day today and doing a bunch of things at my other house. Now I am back in the country and sleepy, and getting ready to enjoy every last day of October to the fullest, beyond fullest...
♥,V
ps: Don't forget to have candy corn and caramel apples and candy apples and and, fresh kettle corn and all that good stuff. We have one more week to treat treat treat!
