Pumpkins

...the tingle that can be felt all around, that playful buzz of excitement, becomes an urgent yearning for Autumn's arrival!!!



The decadent sights of Mother Nature's beauty.
Cool mornings spent indulging our love of fresh air.
A bountiful harvest of delicious fruits and vegetables and the myriad of ways we prepare them to feast upon ~ not least of which, my most favorite ~ pumpkin pie.

Just the mere sight of pumpkins renders this mama giddy with anticipation of things to come.

Changes

As summer widens down and the seasons slowly shift our lives are evolving at a rapid pace.

Our home-schooled daughter is now a uniform wearing 3rd grader with an incredible love for school and her teacher in particular. This time has been especially trying for me as in honoring her request to go to school I have had to quite down the very boisterous voice inside crying no!
Our parenting choices are formed for numerous reasons and as our children grow they shape those choices with their individual needs.

"Change is good ~ We grow with change ~ Change opens new doors"

Today is the day I declare that I will embrace the changes as they unfold. Changes in mothering two young children, changes as a right of passage, adventures to experience as good things are sure to come.
