October came in
gently after hurricane Ian passed over Florida leaving much
destruction in many areas of the state. I am fortunate enough to live
in the north central part of the state so mostly we had rain lot’s
of rain and some wind. In fact, after the hurricane was passed we had
about 20 to 30 minutes of wind gust which took down another tree in
my backyard.
Oddly enough I had
walked around my house earlier in the afternoon and the tree was
still standing, the next day my neighbor came to tell me about the
tree which was on my fence over her back garden. She said she didn’t
hear it but seen it fall. I didn’t hear it either, but I never
heard the other trees that went down a few months ago. I told her it
would be taken care of and the next day my son began to cut it apart,
returned yesterday to finish his goal of getting it cut back enough
to get it off the fence into our yard. So now the tree is in pieces
in my yard which will be cut and hauled away soon.
October began with cool evenings and much drier air which makes my
daily walk to the corner and back pleasant and has allowed me to walk
in the park for a short walk. I think my energy is finally coming
back. The photo is from the corner looking to my house, it isn't a long walk and most days I can make it up and back 3 times.
I began a new 30 days of goddess journal, this time using the
Simple Log book which has 3 days per page with the opposite page
blank for images, art or more writing. I went with this method for
the next few months since the online shops are quite busy from late
September to January and with my stamina not where I would like it
the shorter entries may work out best for me.
This is the first 6 days of October and I fit enough for each day even made a very small
foldout goddess which was a challenge to cut with these old eyes. I
do miss the larger pages but this will work best for me now.
The pages above are October 1-3 words: Invite, Observe and Know, the pages below are for Oct. 4-6 the words are: Ramble, Intent and Refuge.
I have been feeling out of sorts lately some days just not myself
and other days battling the constant nausea just gets to be too much
especially when the abdominal pain worsens, honestly I don’t know
how much more my body can take.
On an up note I have a few books I am going to start reading this
week and a few magazine issues to finish.
We are quickly approaching the dark half of the year so I am
preparing a few things which I will post about as they happen. This
Saturday I am taking a Broom making class which I am really looking
forward to attending. The following Saturday I hope to join the local
group for a broom decorating workshop. I say hope because health at
the best times throws a curve to my plans.
I will leave you with a sweet little witch image.
