sometimes my dance with autumn

stanza 8

I look all about me on the misty, moisty, dew filled morning. The trees are covered with frosting, hanging heavy. I stop to be reminded, only November, still November. Sometimes my dance with autumn is more like a gliding, sliding, fairy ride skiing. On these days, I need often stop to do the math. Still November. Still autumn. Yes, each season has three months. There are four seasons. Still autumn. 

That excitement building makes me dream on the winter wonderland. I must block those visions of long, cold January. I must block those visions of sometimes smothering March. As I glide in this seeming winter wonderland, though still autumn, I embrace the beauty of the day.











I grasp hold of the magic. Vow never to let it slide away.

SAD

Inchies bandwagon but not much to show: Maybe you've been wondering what I've been busy with. I've been spending lots of time at this keyboard trying to keep up with giveaways, commenting on others and investigating those who have commented on mine. I've started, just barely, another series of mini quilts, before finishing the other two and I've started knitting two more hats, one for Cat to try to learn on and another for myself. Good thing the teacher is close by. I'm in final stages of decorating the envelope for my swap recipient. It was supposed to be sent a week ago. Thanks Jennifer for being so patient.

I've also been investigating inchies on the cloth paper studio group. I've decided to jump right in. I can hardly wait to get started. Notice I've done new links just about inchies. Of course I've been reading about them for awhile at artjunkgirls blog, but this seems addictive. Too bad this week is so hectically busy with meetings and talks and chorus singing in Music festival (fun but intense). I'm excited though about the art. The more I do right now the more I feel I want to. YES! Yes! Yes!
