vast as the sky

Yoga Earth is totally different than Yoga Fire.
My legs are not rubber bands. Yet?

It seems the tension will find itself a new place,
a new body to cave.
The repetition of my movements will heighten.
Yes.

Namaste


Good things about working at a revolutionary war museum site with working farm?
Picking figs and black walnuts. Smelling the musket's gun powder from across the field.
Also, watching the loom.

Autumn coats me with something spiced, warm, and full of color





Start of a butternut squash puree. Soup finale! Pureed roasted butternut squash, onion, corn, rice, and turkey kielbasa sausage soup served with fresh parsley and cream, garlic toast pieces, a cold glass of Sam Adam's Oktoberfest beer (Also, check out our new soup tureens made by a Catawba potter at Hog Hill Pottery). Dessert Finale! Pumpkin cheesecake with a pecan and chocolate graham crust.
Fall brings wonderful things to the kitchen. Well, I can't think of anything autumn brings that I don't love. Crochet hats, Oktoberfest Sam Adams, COLOR, new boots, trips to Asheville cabin get aways, and foods filled with warmth.
Also, Anthropologie's October Lookbook is a dream! Beautiful patterns, rich colors, waterside scenery/greenery, and a full bodied plum/red lip. Lovely!
