Kids On The Deck

Saturday evening was lovely so Katie and Loki enjoyed some outdoor time upstairs.

Autumn Altar

The Autumnal Equinox is one of my favorite events to celebrate. It marks the end of summer but more importantly for me it signals the beginning of the season of festive events and holidays that culminates with the arrival of the new year. The coming Fall days and weeks are my favorite time of the year.

What To Do On A Rainy Monday Morning?
