Fall is in the air.  I wonder what it looks like on Whidbey?  In the Whidbey Island newspaper, there are photos of enormous pumpkins and the notice of a scarecrow contest.  Fairs and cookouts and kite festivals.

And we continue to rearrange plans for our home.  Smaller footprint with a walkout basement, but one-level living.  Does that make sense?  Guest room, workshop, et al downstairs.

I have been collecting seeds.  It’s that time of year.  Where will they be planted?  Where will they bloom?  Those seeds represent more than mere flowers.  Those seeds represent a new home, different weather and continued growth.  Change is good.  I am ready.
