hold the warmth close as we head into the cold months.

my garden is succumbing to the frost, bit by bit. I wait anxiously for the killing frost that will end everything but the hardiest greens.

(scanner bed needs cleaning again!!) This was from my first day away from home. Evening visit with a cousin, at a house I’ve known and loved my whole life. The nerves of packing and prepping starting to smooth out, as there’s nowhere else to be, and nothing else to do, but follow this adventure.

packing and travel anxiety.

I’m going on a week-long trip, which will be a lot of fun and family, but I don’t really like leaving my home base and will be very happy to return! in the meantime, daily posts won’t be happening. I look forward to resuming, once we get to the other side of the trip!

This reminded me of a game from childhood we called “Dancing in the Moonlight”. It was a sort of tag, and you had to play at night in a place with light and shadows. We innocent creatures would waltz about as far from the safe home base as we dared, singing “dahncing in the moooonlight”. Then suddenly a monster would leap from the shadows and catch as many as they could before we could get back safe home. I don’t think there was really any more to it than that, but somehow that was enough.

oh my eyes and whiskers
