The last bonfire of the season. I smudged the whole neighborhood with my homegrown sage.

It's a holiday here in Michigan and the Midwest;
Opening rifle day for White Tail.
As I drove to the store this morning, it was so quiet, you'd think it was Christmas or New Year morning.
It's a strange exchange that happens this time of year, the deer come to town, the people go to the woods.

Some small battles have been won.
But problems prevail.
I'm off to my first day volunteering at the local food bank.

Yesterday was beautiful. I wanted to hike our nearby Natinal Recreation area. Not sure if it was open due to government shutdowns, I went to the web site. Fascism was all I found, no viable information. I hiked my township natural area instead.

Halloween is a week away!
Buy your pumpkins from a local grower,
They can make better use of the money than a corporation.
The money stays in the community. A child can get their sporting gear or musical instrument.
That's investing in the future.

When I'm feeling out of sorts or just frazzled, I take two of these and I feel better for a while. It's ok to disconnect.
