List Monday

Fall brings on all of my creative feels every single year and also brings on other emotions that are not necessarily joy-joy feelings.  Perhaps this stems from the disappearance of  light, warmth and an alive climate that is continually fading every single day. This week will be the last that the houseplants will stay out on our porch because the temp will hit below 50° again.  Some of the mother plants, that are fading, will be tossed to make more space for all to come in for the winter.
