I know very little about Chinese Lunar Symbols, but when my photographer sister, Karla, greeted me this morning with a text noting this shift–from the Year of the Wood Snake to the Year of the Fire Horse–I thought I would share this image, taken in our garden last Sunday. It seems to me that the Fire Horse is galloping quite naturally out of the Wood Snake!
May your own year ahead be filled exuberance and forward motion toward wherever your deepest knowing drives you! Onward!
LESLIE
Wishing you joy and good health as sunlit hours begin to wax longer again!

It is icy here and due to become icier yet. I am not a fan of the cold, but I can appreciate how changes in atmosphere extend our vision.
Wishing you a day of crystalline beauty!
Leslie
May your day be filled with light and beauty. HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Hoping your day is filled with light and love! Leslie
This month, in the blocks around my Northfield home, all is sheer drama. From the golden and scarlet foliage, accented with brilliant green grass, to the frolic of quirky and sedate seasonal decor. Here, one can peek through the autumnal gold to see past the white-painted ribs of the porch balustrade to urns mounded up with plumb pumpkins.
Elsewhere? Well, beware! A residence might have transformed into a pirate ship, or a mighty chicken might leap into your line of sight, or you might need to dodge a giant sticky web, or a garden might suddenly sprout a crop of mock-gravestones…
On the hinge of the seasons, before the clocks roll back, I wish you all the treats you can hold!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
LESLIE
