Every season hath its pleasures;
Spring may boast her flowery prime,
Yet the vineyard's ruby treasures
Brighten Autumn's sob'rer time.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. John Muir

~Fall Equinox Traditions~

"The month of September also marks the 'Wine Moon,' the lunar cycle when grapes are harvested from the arbors, pressed and put away to become wine...The full moon closest to the Autumn Equinox is known as the 'Harvest Moon,' since farmers would also harvest their crops during the night with the light of the full moon to aid them.

~Welcome Fall~

Well it's official , Fall is here ... If someone were to ask me what I like about
fall I would have to say sipping wine by the fire while dreaming of summer. Fall is not my favorite season but fall and I manage to get along because we have too!

Ok there are a few things that I can admit to liking about fall, but there are not many. I enjoy carving pumpkins around the campfire while sipping wine, fall hikes and fall photography, making pumpkin walnut bread and sitting by the fire with a good book. I guess that's more than a few things...

But truest to my heart is summer on the ocean, it's where I am most happy.
I love swaying in the hammock for hours with a good book at Edisto while watching pelicans glide over, just being free to dream. Edisto is a place that you can do just that, no one has a care in the world there and no one seems to be in a hurry for that matter either. The locals like to call Edisto "Edislow" that pretty much sums it up. There is nothing better than waking up to the ocean and watching the sun come up with a cup of coffee up on the beach.
What a fantastic way to start your day.

This is a really cool free internet radio station.It's super easy, you search an artist you like and then Pandora finds it and also searches music in that genre, super cool!

~Today is a new Day~

Sorry it's been a couple of days since I have put my thoughts out there...life can get crazy and I have to remind myself to slow down and really sit and reflect on those things that make me most happy. I have to say I love this blogging thing it . I have always loved to read and even write when I was younger and I feel that blogging gives me that creative outlet I have been longing for. I have to say by setting up this blog all by myself it has given me more confidence to write which I have always had a passion for.

I think sometimes you feel like something is missing in your life but you just can't figure out what that is, then a light bulb goes on and you find yourself sitting at your computer bearing your soul to anyone who stumbles upon your blog. I have always had a love affair with writing, it started when I was a child, I just wish I would have pursued it more, I guess today is a new day.

Maybe all this deep reflecting comes with age, funny how that happens.
So next time you feel like something is missing in your life stop and think about what truly makes you happy it is probably staring you right in the face.
"If you don't follow your heart your dreams will never come true".This was so eloquently said by my 4 year old nephew. Wow is he wise !

So get out there and enjoy life and buy the ticket and take the ride.
