The previous photograph of hydrangeas within the header of my blog was sent to me. I was unaware that it belongs to Leslie Miller of Running With Scissors. As soon as I was aware of this, it was removed immediately.

Leslie's site can be seen at http://leslierich.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/ and known as Running with Scissors. Please visit her site for inspiration and see her incredible creations.

September
September, the harvest month...Summer is over and autumn has arrived.

It has been a very warm September for the northwest. However, today it is raining and I must say I welcome it. Fall is a beautiful time of the year - a time to not worry about watering plants and the lawn. A very good time to get back into reading.

One of my daily reading that I enjoy is "Simple Abundance" A Daybook of Comfort and Joy by Sarah Ban Breathnach. Each month she lists Joyful Simplicities. For example - September:
  • Start making your Christmas list this month so that you won't be frantic in December
  • Look at farmer's markets for dried flowers to create your own bouquet
  • Enjoy fresh apple cider
  • Experiment with different types of popcorn
