Good morning!

It’s Monday. Yesterday was so gorgeous and serene, I had a hard time believing there’d ever been a storm. We took a walk to survey the damage, but there really wasn’t much. Lots of leaves, a tree here, a branch there. The woods took it well.

Even the fairies appear to have had a good time. I came upon this teeny tiny tiki hut in the middle of our path—remnants of what I can only imagine was quite a woodland party. As usual, the fairies themselves were nowhere to be found.

“That's the thing with magic. You've got to know it's still here, all around us, or it just stays invisible for you.”

—Charles de Lint

May we see the magic this week.

Onwards,

Clara

What a cute little shroom! They certainly have been plentiful in the NE this year. There are days when I used Seek and found 3-4 mushrooms I'd never seen before. Splendid!
