Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community.

It was my first time wandering the streets of Wellesley during their annual and 40th Apple Butter and Cheese Festival. Neat to see people of all ages come together and awesome that the money raised during the day goes back to the community. The pancake breakfast was huge! Proud of E and Miss L for helping out. Gorgeous day for it too!

Everyone can identify with a fragrant garden, with beauty of sunset, with the quiet of nature, with a warm and cozy cottage.

Don’t you love spending time in lovingly curated homes? After a long week at home and work, we came up to help out at the Apple Butter and Cheese Festival in Wellesley, and got to spend a couple of nights at my sister and brother-in-law’s century home. I’m always thrilled to wander their property and gardens. Such beauty for the eyes and lens.

Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.

I thought the rose bush did not survive last year’s brutal winter, but here it is, blooming away at the end of the summer season. Love that it made it.

And the rest is rust and stardust.

I think somewhere, Dad is glad that his truck is still in service. Much like the penny truck of many years ago, Dad loved a good, hard working vehicle. The Dodge is doing an awesome job so far, even though it is getting up there in years.

The question isn’t who’s going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.

My wish for you is for a life of adventure and laughter. Keep being you…fearless on.

We live in a cult of the upgrade right now. There’s always something around the corner that will make whatever you think is cool right now feel obsolete.

Mom, can I have some photos of my baptism and my communion for a school project? Sounds simple enough, doesn’t it? Two hours later and much frustration (who would have taken almost ALL of his baptism photos out of the album and not put them back?!???!!). The earliest digital photos were printed, but mysteriously not backed up. Not to mention that the CDs are becoming as much of a dinosaur as the floppy disks (which I still have some of!!!). So, the moral of the story will be that all of these will need a transfer onto another medium. And prints. Before we can’t access them anymore.

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.
~George Eliot
Other than the first warm days of spring, crisp autumn days are my favourite. Such vibrance, unabashed colour and joy. You can feel the transition in the air now, even though it’s a warm day today, there are cool undertones for sure.

What’s life without whimsy?

Turns out that you can still surprise Miss L :). She had a great get-together yesterday with some of the funniest and sharpest kids whom she is friends with. Don’t call it a birthday party, though! And then “Crash” the clown showed up and we laughed until our cheeks hurt. Even though we couldn’t blow up a single balloon, we thoroughly enjoyed the show and the silliness that ensued.

They say stay in the lines, but there’s always something better on the other side.

I have a feeling we may see more of this tunnel. I took a little detour to check it out again and loved it even more.
Kathy
Come friends, it’s not too late to seek a newer world.
~Tennyson
Doesn’t it just beckon to be disregarded? Busy weekend ahead, with lots of running around to do for Miss L’s birthday party, but for now, just thinking of places to explore.
