![]() Way deep down I do lol, but I’m very happy for those like me! For me, Autumn, Winter and the dark time of the year is the best time of year. Many of you mourn the loss of the warmth of the Sun, being outdoors constantly and the long days. This is a good thing for many who love this time of year. We come into the dark season of the year. There will be equal day and night and then our days start shortening, our nights lenthening. Mabon is upon us, the Autumn Equinox, on Wednesday the 23rd. ![]() The abundant harvest gives me great pleasure and pride in the work I did over the Summer. Sigh.I just love it! They will continue to give me joy throughout the Winter as I make my tinctures and teas and incenses. My herbs hang happily drying, and scenting my kitchen with the amazing scents of spice and mint and the green outdoors. However, I know that Spring always returns and I just enjoy the process, the scents, my hands again in the dirt. Cutting back what was once so beautiful and gave me such pleasure, is a little bit sad. I have been busy in my garden beds, cutting back the spent flowers, harvesting the last of my herbs, and planning to plant my Spring bulbs next month. ![]() The birds are still content at the feeders, I’m still seeing hummingbirds, bees and butterflies, but the squirrels and chipmunks are busy collecting now. The garden beds are pretty well done, except for the Fall plants like sedum, hydrangeas, mums and such. Today the Sun is bright, there is a light breeze and we have some leaves starting to change color. While last week we had very HOT weather for September, this week we are having lovely days of seasonal, Autumn-like weather. Merry Meet! It’s a beautiful Sunday afternoon here in Ohio.
