mad fall

every fall 

i fall

in love

with this town

all over again.

fall.

change.

it can be intimidating.

but it can also be beautiful...

 fall

light

i took the longest walk

early on saturday morning.

brisk

crisp

bright

fall.

handmade is always better.

Local lovely ladyfriend, Yadira, knits these gorgeous cowl neck scarves.  

Last year I swooped up a bunch of them and gave them away as holiday gifts.  

She makes hats and gloves as well... 

She's a supermom, working girl, fashion blogging, crafty lil sweet heart. 

Keep your eye out for her goods which, when available, are usually sold at Cuffs ( j & 26)  

they are large enough for multiple heads - cozy up!!

blue october

Now Blue October

Now blue October, smoky in the sun,

must end the long sweet summer of the heart.

The last brief visit of the birds is done;

they sing the autumn songs before they part.

Listen, how lovely — there’s the thrush we heard

when June was small with roses, and the bending

blossom of the branches covered nest and bird,

singing the summer in, summer unending –

give me your hand once more before the night;

see how the meadows darken with the frost,

how fades the green that was the summer’s light.

Beauty is only altered, never lost,

and love, before the cold November rain,

will make its summer in the heart again.

This poem was shared by my yoga teacher and I found it to be quite beautiful and timely.
