I have a question for you, important it seems. Not important like, life changing or anything. But maybe important like, mood changing? Perhaps it's important in the fanciful I love magic sort of way?
So, here it goes.
What does this image evoke at first glance?
Anything? Come on, something, a little butterfly excitement in your tummy maybe?
Memories of autumn perhaps?
Fresh crisp evenings?
Magic in the air?
Pumpkin pie, and witches flight?
I'll tell you what it evokes in me, if you'd like?
I think, costumes, and golden leaves.
Striped stockings and crooked shoes.
The warm sweet scent of cinnamon and pumpkin.
Evenings in the garden, candles through Jack-O-Lantern smiles.
Feeling 5 years old, and squealing at the moon with glee.
Oh yes, that and more, is what curly cues on pumpkins evoke in me...
Do you feel it?
Memories of autumns past?
Oh please please say you do ;)
Witch's breeze and cauldron's bubble, night time sparkles and spells are mumbled...
I love the enchantment and inspiration of October Dreams.
Can you feel it?
I know what you are thinking.
"Is she nutzz? It's mid-summer for goodness' sake..."
But, my garden is gifting babes of autumn lore, and I am tumbling head first into fantasy and pumpkin love smores.
And while I gather seeds, for next year's planting season...
I think about fall, and how it's really not that far away.
Autumn and the holidays alike, soar in so quickly that, I think I shall prepare early this year. Like, now. It comes in an instant, and leaves in the blink of an eye. I don't want to miss a drop.
And, I dare say, Mister Pumpkin (from last year) is itching for a new head.
I mean, who are we to complain about wrinkles we acquire over dozens of years, when Mr. and Mrs. Pumpkin look like this in a matter of months (or less)?
And, I do believe that their wrinkles add a bit of charming character, don't you think?
Perhaps we should see our own as such? Maybe I am totally off my rocker, but I sort of like my little wrinkles. Am I insane? Oh wait, don't answer that.... ;)
Well, I best go get ready to be on the Artistically Speaking radio show, as I feel a wave of anxiety coming on. Please don't divorce me if I sound like a troll. Okay? Pinky promise?
If you tune in, and don't hear me, it's that I fainted and I am waiting for some smelling salts ;)
I'm Joking.........
On a more serious note -
About the radio show...
You can listen to it on-line. It will be on Today at 3:30 Arizona time, and 6:30 east coast time.
Here is the link of where to listen...
I will be interviewed by Rebecca E. Parson of Creative Compass, and Lyna Farkas.
FUN!
Sooo, off I go to get calm and organize seeds, while chat time arrives.
See you super duper sooooon!
