Autumn

Ok, so a month ago it felt like autumn had arrived too early, but today I enjoyed the crispness in the air and last night it was great to cozy up in the sitting room with the heating on and candles burning. I am back to eating porridge for breakfast and soup for lunch and it's that time of year when I have to get very inventive and find as many different apple recipes as I can so as not to get bored...I predicted a good crop and boy I was right!

I'm hoping for a dry weekend to give me chance to get the camera out and take some pictures of all the beautiful trees with their autumn colours...the last couple of weekends have been too wet.

The Acer in the back garden, I love this tree!

I took a walk to the post office earlier....I had my iPod on with Bombay Bicycle club playing away like I was in a movie and it was the soundtrack! I often think like this (I know...I know!)...but my life is generally pretty dull and I have a fertile imagination! Actually I spend way too much time in my head..if i could only get out of my head and live in the real world....well who knows what could happen!

Dreams can be very interesting when examined in daylight. They are often mysterious, confusing or just plain weird! But last night I had a dream that was very clear...I was on my way to do something for myself (the exact details escape me now) when someone turned up needing my help. I helped them at the expense of my activity and when the dream was over the feeling of being shortchanged was very strong. And yet in life I do it all the time, put others and their needs before my own. Part of it comes from being a mama bear and part comes from being a caring woman with a desire to heal. But part of it is also unhealthy and something that I really need to work on....well that is what I have taken from the dream any way....
