Another great year at the Renaissance Faire! This was my fourth year going. Several of the merchants from previous years were missing, but I did see a couple I remembered.

Best part this year: the fire folk. They danced with it, twirled it, blew it, fought with it...you get the point. They did awesome things with fire. And that was a first-time show for me. |

The cotton covers the fields like spots of snow. And it thrills my heart to see yellow, purple, red-orange leaves against a soft blue sky. The clouds, those ethereal clusters of cotton, mirror the fields below. Other clouds lay straight, long, and low like an oncoming blanket of snow. And the savanna--scattered with goldenrod and other lovely autumn weeds and with the pine trees sprouting green. And the grasses, how they glow golden, orange, red in the sun. How the white threads of seeds catch the light and reflect it like crystals. And some of the grass, how it stains purple as it dies. Green to purple...God is a talented artist, isn't He?

"The best gift the world has ever known was called Immanuel and came wrapped in a manger. Aside from the gospel, the most valuable thing that you can ever give to anyone is yourself. Give it with care."
- And we've been experiencing a "Second Spring," thanks to the cooler weather and rain. Everywhere the flowers have been blooming. And although some of the old leaves have fallen from their trees to the ground, new green "spring" ones have grown. I should have known, when the temperature dropped down (ever so slightly) and it started raining again, that we would have blooms within the next few weeks. But it took me by pleasant surprise.
- And, since the weather here (in southern Alabama) has suddenly taken on an autumn chill, I'll say one last goodbye to summer's end. |
In the past month, - We added the "leaf" back into our kitchen table because my ten-year-old (step) sister has begun visiting again.
- I finally hung the artwork I made like five years ago (I've been saving it). I had taken a photograph of a tree, faded it on my computer until it was nearly invisible, added the words, and then printed it out. Then I went over it with ink.
- We also killed quite a few brown widow spiders in the beginning of September. In case you haven't heard of them, they're basically like black widows, except that they're brown.
They were living all around the outside of our house and in the garage. Rather a dangerous situation, since they have a toxic bite. |
PS - You should also check out my new photo album "Eden".

My corner here was getting a little crowded, so I recently cleaned it out.
