Summer Solstice has passed and this is how it affects me. I start thinking of these.
I get these out of the pantry.
The Green Man is ready.
Soon we will be traveling to Salem for our annual trip.
And Teddy will roll on the sands at Wells Beach.
And she will eat as many of her beloved clams as she can get her chubby little paws on.
When we return home, the view out of my kitchen window will look like this.
And the trees in the yard will look like this.
And when Teddy lays on the patio this will happen.
It will be time to decorate like this.
I will be so happy I might dance under the moonlight playing my witch tambourine.
I will be logging and painting in my spellbook.
And I might make a new Jake.
The owl collection will come out and replace all the birds on the potting table.
Hopefully I will not see any more of this nonsense.
I will be building a lot of these in my fire pit which will lead my neighbor to believe the title on the above book.
I will travel back to the Country Living fair which will be decorated like this.
It will be time to bring out the haunted dollhouse again.
And time to wear the special order Keds that my wonderful daughter was thoughtful enough to have made for me. That pic on the side of the shoe is the Salem witch trials. Click on any of the pics for a closer look.
And it will be the time of year to start cooking dishes like this.
Though some people are excited about Summer beginning, I see it as the true beginning of Fall.

Nope. I want my 6 weeks of summer thank you.
The pumpkins are slowly rolling out of my closets (the ones I put away that is), the bats are descending from the belfry and my heart yearns to descend upon the sprawling fields in search of the perfect Jack.
I used to spend a lot of time in Salem, it's such a magical and beautiful place. I miss it dearly, especially now that I'm 1,000 miles away and can no longer drive a few short hours to visit.
What fun...Love the leaves on Teddy..
What exactly is that last dish, by the way? I recognize the peas...
I can hardly wait...
I'm such an "autumn spirit" I even named my daughter Autumn Rose.
You have the greatest Autumns with the trips to Salem and the Country Living fair. I'd love to go with you!
Can't wait for fall. Here in Florida it means cooler weather.
Hope you post from Salem.
Happy Day!
xoxo to "Teddy Fall Leaves"
P.S.- Where is the Country Living fair?? That would be a wonderful event to go to!
P.P.S.- I want those Keds so badly!
!
Kisses and love from us.
Being a Solstice child (it was on the 22nd the year I was born, so I think it counts) I have to speak up for summer. At least for early summer, when everything is lush and green and growing. I'll feel differently by Lughnasadh/Lammas, but right now, summer is lovely.
I LOVE FALL! It's my favorite time of the year and of course Halloween is my Fav Holiday but...
I have perennials AND annuals that aren't planted yet!
AND I haven't had any watermelon or grilled corn on the cob OR BLT sandwiches and SUN iced tea and ....
nope, not ready yet
and the HOT HUMID weather makes me cherish the Fall all the more!
Those shoes are gorgeous - autumn or no autumn!
But fall is nice too,especially since it still feels so summery...and without the other seasons for contrast, how would we know how nice our favorites are?:)
What dog-friendly places do you stay at in Salem? We want to take our fur-baby with us.
Love all the memories of last year - can't wait to see what you come up this Fall!
I love fall too.
