Photo Friday: Autumn Color

HA! How ironic that this should be the topic... This past week or two I have literally spammed my Instagram with pictures of mostly just my yard and the gorgeous fall trees there! XD So follow me there (or just click through to flickr) and see all the others I've posted!

This one I took special this morning just for this week's Photo Friday...

October Blog Party!

Do something holiday related everyday the month of October and blog about it. You do not have to blog everyday, just chronicle what you've been doing on each day when time permits.

Oh wow! It's been nearly 2 weeks since I updated this! Well, before we head off to TN and people think I completely flaked out, here's the list update:

1. Started to gather surprizes for my Samhain swap partner and a few other friends...
   



2. Watched The Corpse Bride
   



3. Watched Cat People (1980s version)
   



4. Cleaned off my altar and made it Samhain-ready!
   



5. Added a spooky friend to my keyboard
   



6. Made a bunch of candy wrapper bracelets (while doing scary chemistry!)
   



7. Watched the crows fight the wind
   



8. Started a seasonal picture
   



9. Found beauty in a rainy day

    [Eeep! I was so excited about it, I forgot to take pictures! >.< She should be posting some soon...
    If it's arrived! I know I should have gotten Delivery Confirmation!]



18. Bought gobs of goodies to fill said package
    [Eeep! Again I was so excited about it all, I forgot to take pictures! >.< I hope she posts soon!]

Autumnal Inspiration

If the *Greenman* is made of leaves, wouldn't his colors change in the fall too?

That was what I was thinking when I made this piece:


My inspiration is my own front yard:

Unconscious Mutterings

1. Heist :: Bank


2. Hack :: Computer


3. Dane :: Claire


4. Stings :: Police


5. Monkey :: Bread


6. Junkie :: Drugs


7. Pumped :: Up


8. Brass :: Band


9. Fight! :: FIGHT!


10. Vouch :: Coupon

Yeah, I connect with partial words... (Claire should be with Danes; Police should be with Stings; and Coupon should be with Voucher.) Oh well.

So what's everyone out there doing for the first day of fall? (That's today!) We're having a special dinner of harvest muffins and squash! (Maybe more...)

Happy Fall!

P.S. Because of the sheer number of pictures that I missed for 365, I'll be posting them 2 at a time for the next few days...
