I'm writing to you at my upstairs desk, watching the morning mist rise from the fields, the dew dripping from the rooftop outside my window. Autumn is here. I had a small, illuminating adventure a few days ago...wrote a post about it at Wisteria & Sunshine...then made that post into the little film I share with you below.

When I was almost ready to send this on its way, I noticed the speedwell flower in the banner...and then the tangle of orange in the otherwise cosy scene above...and started to create a more autumnal banner, and search for another photo to share with you. Then I remembered the message from the snakeskin, and let go of the needless work of perfecting this note to you. And then I realized that the tangle of orange on the table evokes very well what the Autumn Asks journey (that begins tomorrow) at Wisteria & Sunshine is about...noticing what takes away from the contentment and beauty we might otherwise feel in our days, and responding to those noticings with gentle actions.

I'm sure I later plucked up my husband's neon-colored exercise band and tucked it back into the basket where it belongs, out of sight. That is what we will be doing with so much in our lives...online too-muchness...material clutter...too many obligations and pressures. and more...through October and November.

I hope you will join us and wish you a peaceful & lovely Autumn,
