Autumn is a Second Spring, Where Every Leaf is a Flower

"Come , little leaves" Said the Wind one day, "Come to the Meadows with me and play. Put on your dresses of read and gold; for summer is past, and the days grow cold." - George Cooper

Fall has come to The Glen..and boy am I excited! Its a time to put away swimsuits and sunblock and pull out the sweaters and scarves. Time to jump into piles of leaves and wander through the corn mazes. Even now, the nights here are growing cooler, and last night we had an eclipse. A Blood Moon it was called. Where the earth was between the sun and the moon, so the moon turned red. A lovely, Autumn red.

Perhaps that is why our expected little one decided today was the day he should come into the world. His mother lives here in The Glen and she went into labor yesterday afternoon...but he has yet to come out and see the world. Hopefully today The Glen will have a brand new baby around!

However, while the father paces and the mother does what mothers do.. the rest of us in The Glen must stay busy while we wait. So I have decided it is time for the fall decorations. Pumpkins, squash, corn, wheat, and leaves all displayed in beautiful arrangements.

Pumpkins, Wheat, and Squash! Oh My!

My Life In The Glen

“Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance.” ― Steven Pressfield

Do you ever feel like you are living two lives?
A life at home..and a life at school?
A life at work, and a different life with your friends?


It sometimes feels like I am living two lives... My life at home, where my friends and family accept me just as I am, love me unconditionally, and where if we go out to eat at Chili's, its a big deal.

And my life here in The Glen. Where the rich and fabulous change wardrobes at least three times a day,  would never be seen without their hair and makeup done, and spend more on flowers for the house than I make in a month.

I was lucky though. The couple I work for (Who will remain unnamed for the sake of their privacy) are very nice. Not at all like I expected. To be honest..(and to my shame) I expected them to be a bit snooty. However, despite their obvious wealth, they are some of the kindest people you could ever meet. 

Their life though...boy is is different from what I am use to. It was a bit of a culture shock when I first started my job at Hunters Glen. Getting use to all the refined ways of life..it took a little time. I love my life here in Hunter's Glen. I have seen and heard so many beautiful things in the past month that I have worked here. I figured the best way to process and share this side of my life, was by writing (typing) it all down.

So if you are a follower of this blog, I thank you. Hopefully you will find some entertainment in my crazy ramblings. Until next time...I will leave you with one of my favorite views in The Glen.

The orchids are so beautiful in the morning light.
