I feel like a squirrel getting ready for winter. I want to do so many things at once these days, and there is a renewed excitement for it all. I’ve been spending a little extra time in the kitchen – in the mood for cooking and baking and yogurt making. There’s been huckleberry picking, and I can’t wait to go chanterelle picking! This morning I went with my sister for what may have been the last of the blueberry picking. There have been spontaneous runs to the lake for quick swims, spur of the moment dates with my guy, sketches for new sewing (hopefully to be revealed soon), the craving for long walks, challenging bike rides and full body stretching. It feels great to have what seems to be a new rhythm forming, and that new vigor that come with earthly changes.
This week we reviewed the past year, and considered ways to improve the different areas of our lives – health and healing, meditative time, our relationship, creative flow, social time, work and financial stability – to name a few. It helped to clarify what areas need work, and how to expand upon what is working well.
What gets you excited about the coming of fall? What internal changes do you notice with the shift of this, or any, season?

I feel thrilled every time Autumn is arriving. I feel like I could do everything: September is a sweet promise, for me. I’m trying to eat better, to take care of our plants and garden, to walk and jog and cycle everyday. Have a fantastic Autumn, Abby.

Fall gives me a new sense of purpose and energy. Fall is my favorite season! 🙂
I always love your posts and your beautiful pictures. You have a way with words that is very soothing.
By the way- I had a dream about you last night. You were showing me your favorite old growth tree and all of the sudden it was covered in tiny yellow berries (the size of huckleberries.) I asked you what they were and you said they were Sunberries. You picked some and ate some and asked if I wanted to try one. I tried it and it was incredibly delicious! I think they were magic berries… bursting with sunshine and bright joy. It made me smile when I woke up. 🙂
