The changing of the seasons always brings a rush of creativity in my studio. No matter the season, once the shift begins seemingly out of no where inspiration comes rushing in like a flood. I was prepared for Fall or so I thought. I had cleaned, scrubbed, tossed items that I no longer needed, a deep Spring Cleaning in preparation for Fall, the studio was ready! Boy was I surprised when my seasonal inspiration hit and it wasn't with paint or canvas. It wasn't with fabric and thread. It wasn't in the kitchen creating new Gluten Free recipes.
There I was gathering fresh Apples in the orchard when it hit! Inspired by the shadows dancing in the leaves, by the Goldenrod waving in the wind. I wasn't expecting to be inspired in the garden this Fall, usually late winter or early spring is when I plot and plan new creative adventures for the garden.
This Fall, I will be creating new flowerbeds, planting bulbs, flowering shrubs and some trees. Placing bird feeders and new birdbaths along the trails so that in winter I will be able to enjoy the flight of color in a cold barren winter garden. Checking my supply list and soon headed out to the Garden Center. I will be the one digging and transplanting, adding bulbs enjoying the lingering days of Fall. Bonfires, football and all things pumpkin. Happy Fall Y'all!

Giving Thanks!
Happy Thanksgiving! Happy Feast Day! Happy Football!
Thanksgiving brings a rush of memories~ filled with laughter and tears.
Yet, Thanksgiving 2016 my heart is overflowing with the many blessings of the year.
I can't really hang out and chat today, I'm running behind on the creation of the feast. [Yep, I stayed up way to late playing in the studio last night when I should have been cooking!]
Years ago we broke with "Tradition" as in no turkey! Gasp!!
Since the break-up, every year the menu changes. This year is no different, everyone has submitted a request for entree, sides and desserts. And once again, no one has requested turkey, gravy, dressing.... Shrimp is at the top of the entree listings.
What will you be serving later today? Do you have any Thanksgiving Traditions unique to your family?
Happy Thanksgiving!
Carol
