My 8 yr old grandson standing on a chair holding up his new skeleton blanket in front of him making him look like the giant skeleton!

A neighborhood skeleton dressed in red flannel and a touque as we call them in Canada sitting around his campfire.

A great use of a mannequin made to look like a cross between an autumn goddess and the scarlet witch. Found in a neighborhood yard. In the background is that a female skeleton in a slip and neon green wig pole dancing on a light post?

It's all in the placement of the fake Halloween limbs. This rubber hand and arm is coming out of the back of the couch cushions at my daughter's house.

Halloween is in the air...
Fun decor at home and in the neighborhood.

The Flats, an area of field, surrounded by forest with a pond that feeds off of a stream and river. A forest floor of orange, red and yellow maple, oak, and walnut leaves. Three tall tree trunks to the right, green field in distance.

The Flats. A small grove of trees with a mixture of orange, yellow, red and green leaves. The ground below the trees is covered in fallen leaves. On that ground below the trees is an old wood picnic table. The green grass surrounds the grove and a forest can be seen in the background.

The trails. In the thick forest I found this tree trunk looking at me with it's wonky alien or sea creature like eyes....

The trails in the woods. Nestled in the trees and the blanket of fallen leaves is a hidden home made of tree branches. A safe place to sleep for critters and other magical forest creatures.

Had to say goodbye to my forest, flats, trails and river and head back to the city for the winter. Good news, I will be returning for 6 months on May 1st. I'll be counting down the days but in the meantime, making the best of city living until then. #countryheart #trailerlife #simpleliving

Halloween costume. Me in a dark blue velvet gown with silver stars and moons. A purple cloak over my shoulders and a silver fabric triple moon goddess crown on my head. My hair is long blonde & loose

Another view of the blue velvet dress with silver stars and moons, this time without the purple cloak. You can see the cut outs in the sleeves near the shoulders. And a thin silver beaded belt with silver stars around my waist.

Do you dress up for Halloween or Samhain?
This was my costume this year for a vending event I did called Fright Fest. Triple Moon Goddess.
I will dress up again to Trick or Treat with one of my grandkids.

A maple tree with green leaves and patches of orange leaves against a backdrop of a variety of trees in various colors of green, yellow and orange. The grass is green in a flat area and a wood picnic table is seen in the distance. The sky is bright blue.

October 1st A pinch and a punch for the first of the month and a rabbit, rabbit, rabbit too.
The countdown is on for me. Only 19 days of camping season left and I am off to stay with my youngest back in the city temporarily. I have a knee replacement surgery, in mid November and need time to heal.

A handmade ancestor card revealed on top of a deck on a footstool. Puppy Paprika in the background napping. Taken inside my tent.

Sadie my little dog curled up in the blankets on my blow up mattress in my tent.

My legs shown in my red caftan with a tarot deck on my lap, my altar in the background and small bookshelf and the door to my tent.

A close up of my ancestors card pulled on the full moon.

My life has had another plot twist.
My partner decided he doesn't want to pursue a relationship anymore. He called me to tell me while I was on the road returning home from a 10 day vending event.
I have to move my tent to a new location to finish the season and secure new housing for the winter.

A road sign that says Anywhere 174km Nowhere 101km Everywhere 73km Somewhere 15km Its at the side of a highway with rocky cliffs in the background.

It's been awhile. I am in full swing vending season, living out of a camper, creating in a tent, and traveling to events. I have my biggest event starting in 2 days. The road trip starts early Sunday morning. Camping rough, vending, bands, dancing, drumming, workshops, rits, friends, can't wait!

Crafts and books on the table of the deck.

A new to us golf cart for getting around the huge camp.

Sadie the shitzu in the dog park.

Two bunny stuffed toys that my young granddaughter designed and sewed by hand.

Inside my glamping tent. My little shitzu Sadie, my comfy arm chair and footstool and some of my other favorite things.

Walking the trails with the dogs in the early morning.

I am officially living out of a trailer now and working out of a tent. I am retired so by working I mean side hustle passions that keep me afloat like writing, making, witchy stuff, coaching...

It's been a whirlwind of activity lately. I just had to change my age on my profile because my age changed 12 days ago. This is my final trip around the sun as a fifty something. I am hoping for more discounts soon. And, here's a birthday recap.

Happy Birthday! You wear 46 very well!

A treasure trove of little gifts scattered about in the mulch in the garden under an ornamental flowering tree. A small handmade colorful mini maypole with a hand painted driftwood pole, colorful ribbon and miniature fabric and felt strawberries on top.

A distant view of the treasures under the flowering tree/bush in the garden, left for the Fae for May Day and Beltane.

A little May Day & Beltane vibes. Gifts for the Fae. (honey, cream, beeswax, buttons and beads, Himalayan rock salt, selenite, glass cabochon, fabric, string, chocolate pepper seeds, dried berries, maple tree buds, paper hearts, a poem, sea shells, and a little maypole)

I've been busy putting the finished touches on my handmade ancestor Oracle deck. I want it ready on Sunday, my 59th birthday and the new moon!

A lap with a hand holding a mortar and pestle made of granite. Crushing egg shells into powder form.

I have been busy. Today was a prep day for the new moon, mojo making.
I need a new mortar and pestle and I want one just like this. I borrowed this one.

A red bench with the symbolic maple leaf associated with Canada painted in white on the back of the bench. The bench sits facing Lake Huron on the edge of a pier. Lake Huron is grey and angry looking producing big waves and splashing at the pier and causing a spray to soak the bench.
