    My Autumn adventure that I'm looking forward to is walking out into the golden Swedish forest with my camera to catch all the burning colors of the season! A friend of mine always fills a bowl with Autumn leaves and puts tiny strings of candles in the middle of them. It's a lovely autumn tradition!! Thank you for talking so much about imagination and for using it! ... You are like a modern Anne of Green Gables!... I loved when you made your video The snow fairy. I would love to see more fairytales like that!! An Autumnal book that I like to read is by the Finish author Tove Jansson. It's called The dad and the sea. I don't even know if it's been translated into English, but it is a very slow, philosophical story about a troll family living on a lonely island. They move there during the Autumn. Take care and thanks for all the watering inspiration!!

I keep expecting Peter Rabbit to crawl under the gate :-) You are everything a parent could wish for in a daughter. I am from England, now living in Washington State , and I thoroughly enjoy listening to you. Your pronunciation of English and Spanish is perfectly delightful. You are humble, kind, hard working, absolutely beautiful in every aspect. You project such a calming personality and atmosphere, that we all love so much. Oh, and keep growing your beautiful long hair :-) Being from England, Autumn to me, is my favourite time of year. Walking with my Dad, in the forests with giant maple leaves, the mushroomed fairy circles :-) And the crisp air.

    A movie I love is On Golden Pond. It's not only about the changing seasons but also a beautiful film about a couple in the autumn of their long lives. It is moving, thought-provoking, and sees the re-establishment of a relationship both depicted and true (in the case of Henry and Jane Fonda). The acting, the setting - on and around Squam Lake - and the music is superb. I'm English but, on a holiday in New England some time ago, visited the lake. Beautiful beyond words. I now live in the Peak District of England and the view from my window is full of golds, russets, reds, oranges and yellows. So getting out into the forests and woods is a daily pleasure I am so grateful to enjoy

    My nature walk is in a cemetery, but lately with a bad foot. I have not been able to enjoy walking for me that is really hard. I love nature and alone time. My cemetery is full of wildlife and as of this past year. There is a new little red fox, also a bobcat, deer and all the other usual birds and small animals. And it's full of trees, all in their autumn colors, mushrooms, moss, pines with soft needle beds. It's beautiful and just the place to be alone. To enjoy a bit of silence and peace. There are many winding lanes, and places to sit and reflect. The last 3 days have been in the upper 60s making it to 70. So bright and sunny with a delishious cool breeze. Sigh! So wish I felt better.

It was a truly beautiful way to spend an autumn afternoon. We’ve been invited back in a couple of weeks for a festival, where I can bring my violin and just learn from everyone there.

    I love the colors and the sensuality of this season, the smells, the sound of leaves crunching under foot, the sunlight and the rich fertile soil in the process of mulching and planting garlic cloves, and the last of gleaning what is left in the garden and on the trees. Cleaning and decorating for the cold and the change of clothes and food. Baking more often and way more stews, soup and casseroles to make and eat. Kale salads and escarole are the greens that are frequently used in this fall season as well as cabbage and other cold hardy vegetables...carrots, beets,potatoes, winter squash are also available and delicious. I love the fall!

From nature walks to apple picking, baking to antiquing and thrifting, we kept very busy and enjoyed every moment. We even took our kids and grandchild on a train ride to a pumpkin patch where we got cookies and cider and got to pick pumpkins! Also, I'd just like to say my favorite "curl up" movie is also one from my childhood. I absolutely love watching the 1960's version of Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella! The dialogue and fake sets are corny, but the music is magical and Lesley Ann Warren is wonderful. My go to autumn movie...Maybe it's the pumpkins? lol

    Usually October is about harvesting the last of the garden and orchard, filling the freezers with meat, preserving food, and preparing the garden for winter. Some of it will be put to bed and some will be planted with cold hardy crops. At Samhain, at the end of the month, the garlic gets planted. This is also when I start planning for the next years gardening. Samhain is the "new year" for me, so there are activities, rituals and celebrations centered around the endings and beginnings of natures cycles. Its a time to honor ancestors.

    With October comes not just Samhain, but Scorpio season overall. That sign helps me do a lot of shadow work, especially as I have a relatively strong Scorpio placement. It pushes me to dig deeper and get to the heart of a matter rather than skim over something just because it's difficult. And to try explaining something anything more about that connection is like trying to rake all the leaves without someone trying to dive in. 🤦‍♀️

This past weekend the Samhain Witchcraft Market was right down the street from me (same street, three blocks away), and I'm going to the Beltane Society's Samhain Fire Festival and Parade on the 31st. I agree, it's the best time of year for activities, rituals, and celebrating the new nature cycle, or veil, between the abundance of life in spring and summer and the quiet "death" of autumn and winter. A great time for reflection and renewal. I really love the way the Scottish culture embraces it all. It's openly and abundantly celebrated here. Blessed be from an American expat. ❤

I’ve renewed my love of painting and mixing colors to make new ones, and then apply them to the art project I’m working at that moment. When I first started the painting again I thought “I have so many things I should be doing…But I’m having so much fun…who cares…the things will be there when I get done.” 😃 And I spent as much time as I wanted painting some wooden fall signs I had found. It was the best “opposite of my normal routine” that I have had in a long time. I really enjoyed it! Thank you again.🦋🌈🌺

    My wife and I have missed you this past week. Always look forward to your videos and all you have to say. Perhaps it’s the way you say it. I’am not sure but we find it relaxing. Your wise to be so young and you explain your feelings so well. Perhaps it’s because of your moving from place to place when you were young and your education but I believe it’s the way you were raised and the things you went through that were difficult. I’ve always believed that you learn more about what’s really important when it’s hard and difficult and you come out of it. On a personal note I wanted to say how much you resemble our young granddaughter who just turned 16. It’s like looking at her 9 years from now when we look at you. She is artsy, whimsical and left handed like you and we love her so much. May the Lord bless you and your husband all your families and your book sales. We have ordered ours and can’t wait to read it. We’re sending all our love to you too. Amen!

    Thank you for a lovely video. I love to collect Fall leaves, press them and also collect pods, acorns, small pine cones and make natural wreaths with them and give to friends and family. I love to hike in the woods and bring a small journal, that I make note of where I am, the birds I identify, anything interesting along the trail and then sketch something to remember from the hike. Enjoy the rest of this very special month. 🍂

    Danny Kaye movies are whimsical and so fun!! They take me back to when I was a young child when movies were more innocent and not laced with disrespectful brats with mega attitudes...Simpler, sweeter times. Also many of the movies promoted very good moral virtues. 🤩

I don’t know if he is a she or visa versa but I so enjoy watching how excited Rocky is and how quickly the pile disappears. I expect one day to have a forest of hickory and oak trees.

    Fall season means driving to the Poconos to see the bright and beautiful colors of the leaves ~ I enjoy the scents of fall in the woods. Fall also means picking and baking apples in desserts and cooking up neck pumpkins for holiday pie making later. Watching old Disney movies from my childhood always brings comfort. I also love the PBS series that remind me of simpler times such as “all creatures great and small”.

Now I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and love to see the bright colors of the Chinese Pistache trees. A funny thing happened this summer with my beloved East Coast Elm trees in my also beloved Redwood Park. We had a very hot spell this summer and the leaves all dropped off, but a couple of the trees grew new leaves!! So in mid October, those leaves are green!! I am on lookout for colored leaves that will go on through December for some trees. Blending seasons here!

    I like painting fall themes on wood and canvas. Walking in forest seeing the fall colors. I like hunting for acorns of which this season , they are scarce. Those squirrels have been busy, an omen of a harsh winter to come here in Illinois. While walking in woods brings back memories of picking up walnuts with my best friend and her mom. I feel so rejuvenated in the fall, perhaps because I was born in early November . I enjoy your stories and activities. At soon to be 73, I also have a little girl heart and reminisce of days past.Hearing the rustle of the dry leaves underfoot, watching a wooly caterpillar crossing the path, and the grace of falling leaves, all hint at the winter to come. Thank you for sharing you adventures.
