#autumn colours
Alberta snapshot: Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park.
The leaves are turning so quickly this year! (And falling, too). I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise…we had summer-hot weather in April and May, and the whole growing season felt completely accelerated. Hope you have some time to get outside and enjoy someplace beautiful this weekend!

PUMPKINSPIRATION…
This year, I’m going for Gourds…
Their Knobbly bottoms are so gorgeously Witchy to me and with Halloween almost upon us, I’ve piled as many as I can into my window, it’s a bit of a squash! X

PUMPKINSPIRATION…
I love this season, crunchy leaves underfoot, chimney’s smoking as the first few fires are lit and oceans of eyes peeping over woollen scarves…There may be a chill in the air, but the colours are so deliciously warm and these Gourds have definitely inspired my wardrobe…

Autumn Leaves and Lime Crime Penny Lips…
I’ve been stumbling upon these brooches for a while and before I knew it, I had enough to start sprucing up my scraggly old jumper…
Have you ever made any accidental collections…?

Make a tea and sit by the window. Go outside and spend some time just looking at the world. Go somewhere on your own. Rent a bike. Write to a friend on a whim. Take a walk through the forest. Visit a café. Don’t make plans.

Some fall foliage in Estes Park for you! I have some photos from Colorado I am excited to share, but I’ve been both busy and tired, so they are slow to come. This can be your sneak peek. Happy Halloween!

Monday morning was one of sudden changes in the weather, when drenching showers rushed across the sky chased by dazzling autumn sunshine, which lasted only a few minutes before it, too, fled away to the east, pursued by huge black clouds lit up from time to time by a beautiful rainbow.
Algy hopped up into the wee cherry tree by the feeder for his smaller fluffy friends, and revelled in a short-lived burst of golden light. This poor wee tree had struggled for many years to grow in the challenging local conditions, and it was rare that it held its leaves long enough for them to “turn”, but this year had been kinder than most, and Algy was delighted to see that for once it had a chance to display its glorious autumn colours.
From time to time a golden leaf fluttered to the ground as the wee birds stocked up on supplies to get them through the chilly autumn night, and somewhere, hidden in another tree behind Algy’s head, a robin who was evidently more concerned with higher things was singing his autumn refrain:
Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day.
[The robin is singing the poem Fall, leaves, fall by the 19th century English author Emily Brontë.]
