*its funny how you can detect the shift in seasons just by the smell*
while away camping i stood one morning when the malvern hills were half hidden in the mists and could smell the autumn, waiting just around the corner~there was a chill in the air that i hadn't felt since last january/february and it was so welcome.
i am a child of imbolc, born at the begining of february a time when we enjoy the last of winter before the start of spring~although its good to feel the sun i love those long weeks from the autumn equinox through to the spring equinox.
~*the smell of damp earth, the colors of the leaves before they fall, bonfires, waking to sharp frosts that highlight cobwebs and bare branches, going for cold walks and coming home to a welcome hot chocolate or even, closer to yule a hot mead*~
O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained
With the blood of the grape, pass not,but sit
Beneath my shady roof, there thou may'st rest,
And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe;
And all the daughters of the year shall dance,
Sing now the lusty song of fruits and flowers.
William Blake
*i am finally feeling more settled and less spiritually disconnected*
our little hobbit hole is becoming more and more like our home with each passing day and if i needed a reminder of all i hold close then this discovery today provides a good reminder...
it is really heavy solid brass and will look great when we have painted our front door~as many of you know i have a strong link with the green man so this felt like a message for me

I can't wait to see a picture of him rightfully hung on your freshly painted front door...:)
The season is most definately shifted here...I'm actually going out to the garden to bring in the last of our veggies tonight.
Bright Blessings...
