Pete is traveling for work, and those days are often packed with "to do's", like laundry, cooking, parenting, and generally holding the ship together. Today (his first day away) we were invited on a hike with some dear friends. We ditched the to-do list and put our boots on.
It was a perfect day. Sunny, breezy bliss. There was milkweed to make wind-magic with…
An abundance of love – with plenty of hands to hold,
and the beauty of nature to hold us close.
As fall inches towards winter, these days are vital. Connecting with
the people we love most (even with my sweetie away) out in the sun and wind is also vital.
Laughing, walking, talking, relaxing, picnicking… truly a perfect, magical
autumn day.
As we walked the final stretch back towards the trailhead, Lupine sprinkled sumac berries along the trail. She said, "These berries are for Mother Earth. She can gather them up in her fairy wings and fly away to the earth, her home, to plant them."
A day like this breeds magic indeed.
