Crossing over

Myfall

It's time to cross over into autumn. I felt it quite clearly today, walking home from work. Light cool rain fell from a white sky. So I came home, closed all my windows, took a hot shower, lit my warm cider candles and put on Enya's The Celts for the first time this year.

Time for magic, fire, witchiness, quietness, cableknit, cold rain, cuddling, hibernating. Time to take everything in and close the doors, let it mix, brew, gestate. Time to cross over.

What are your autumn rituals?

I know it's fall when Mark starts roasting butternut squash with butter and honey. And red wine replaces white wine.

At this time of year butterflies, one at a time, fly by my 14th floor apartment right in the middle of Manhattan. It's to remind me of Donald's birthday, I think!
