Someone, somewhere insisted I take today off and walk in the woods. Although I had sessions scheduled, every single one rescheduled itself, and the cold, rainy weather cleared. After stopping early at some friends’ garage sale, I found myself not wanting to go indoors, and so I heeded the call of the woods where I found so many purple flowers and pink leaves that if I hadn’t also seen the oranges, reds and yellows, I might have thought for a moment it was spring.
The crisp fall air with its hint of mist got me totally in the mood for tomorrow’s Samhain celebration. In fact, the rare fall sunshine peeking out at noon insisted I whip up a gluten-free vegan Devil’s Food Cake in the Sun Oven to go with the homegrown sweet potato chili, grill-roasted root veggies, and mulled cider. Since I can’t share the yummies with you, I thought I’d share some photos:

Laura! ME TOO! π Here outside Omaha NE, the purple violets have been blooming for me like crazy– even after several frosts?!! π Looking up the meaning, it is the RESURRECTION symbolism that speaks most clearly to me. I have eaten a handle of purple blooms for many many days, saying thank you thank you thank you to each one. π
What a magnificent magickal moment to be alive in body on Gaia.
Hugs
