September Sunday

Even the bramble bushes have a sense of beauty, changing, soon they will be gone until spring time comes again.

Brown eyed beauties.

The humming bird;  a messenger of love.

Sunday is here again, comes around quickly it seems.   The weather was really lovely this past week and the side yards are showing off the spectacular colors of Fall.   I found a few colorful leaves to bring back from my walk, then placed them between the leaves of a book in hopes they will dry out and be an addition to one of the October projects.  I spent a short time at the Gallery with Christine yesterday morning and listened in as she and Louis were plotting and planning a floor change.  They were moving cases and objects around on paper trying to find the magic way to introduce folks to the spectacular artists paintings and retain the look of the office area without it taking over the better spaces.   It will be interesting to see what they finally decide on.    I am sure a few of the board members will want to have some import, especially those who are avid volunteers and spent time at the gallery.    I did get a bit more of the inventory done, but not much as it needs a better plan to get everything accounted for.   

Our day actually got very hot.   I thought of putting the air conditioner on to cool the apartment down.   I guess Indian summer has arrived without warning.    The old timers used to call this season pneumonia weather as one never knew whether to wear a bathing suit or a fur coat as the days went from cold to hot  trying to decide whether to let summer go and winter in.    Fall, a lovely time of year and certainly one of glorious color.

The moods have been swinging back and forth this week.   Not sure if it is the season or the lack of plans to accept that the winter months are coming faster than we realize.   Time just does not stand still.    I know that it is the season to make closets neater and a time to get rid of those items which you have not worn in a couple of years.   Saving them for some day which never does come.   I have clothes that date back to 'working days' and that was a really long time ago.   They still have 'wear' so why dispose of them as 'someday' I might wear them again.    Think I had better try and see if they still fit, bet they don't.  Fall is the time for cleaning clutter from out lives, easy to say but harder to do.   I'll sit and think awhile and maybe, just maybe I'll lighten the load.

So today, lighten your load.    Find time and patience to think about what you do or do not want to keep in your closets.    If you have not worn a piece of clothing in the last year, it probably means that you wont wear it ever again.    Time for tossing, cleaning out, clearing out, getting rid of excess baggage...well it wasn't always baggage, it used to be 'special' and for one reason or another it has lost its luster so it is time....time to make room for new winter items.  Do pack away some of the 'good' stuff as you will be looking for it in the next warm season.    We all have favorite items of clothing that we just cannot live without.    

Be good, be kind, be gentle.   Share YOU with those you like and love.    Open up those arms and share a bear hug or two.    A peck on the cheek does wonders for the morale.    Go, be YOU and have a Sunday that you will remember for years to come.    Hugs to all.
