You are such a kind, wonderfully sweet soul, dear Zania. Thank you very much for your response. Please don’t worry in the slightest about your reply time. It’s all good!

Blessedly, it’s relatively safe to say at this point that 2021’s wildfire season is drawing to a close again here in BC. A few are still underway in parts of the province, but most of the major blazes are either out now or on their way to being extinguished entirely.

Also very blessedly, we did not end having to evacuate (though I think we were ultra close there for much of August and early September) and our home made it through this year’s forest fires completely unharmed. There are not words enough to fully convey how grateful I am (we are) about that.

On a less sombre note (than wildfires, I mean), I had a fantastic Mabon (complete with a serenely beautiful sunrise nature walk that day). Thank you sweetly! I hope that yours was cozy, enjoyable, and thoroughly magickal as well.

Just as I’m wishing you the loveliest, safest, happiest, and most enchanting of Samhain seasons. 🎃

Big hugs,
🖤 Autumn

Hi Autumn, thank you for your reply. Sorry for my late response, I’ve just seen it now. You’re very welcome and I’m glad to hear that my comments brighten your week. It’s always a pleasure to receive one from you too! 🙂

I’m glad to hear that the wildfire has been contained somewhat and hope that things are still ok. Thinking of you both and others in the same situation and sending love. <3

Hugs to you too. Hope you had a wonderful Mabon and are enjoying the official start of autumn! 🙂

Thank you wholeheartedly, dear Emma. You are such a caring, thoughtful person and I feel blessed to know you.

You’re absolutely right regarding how unnerving it can be to live around major wildfires. Even having grown up and lived a solid chunk of my life in parts of BC where large forest fires are, sadly, often the sunny season norm, the risk of a blaze reaching us never becomes something that one gets fully accustomed to.

Mercifully, that has not happened yet this year, but it was decently touch-and-go there at times in August.

The large fire nearest to us is still active (and still very big), but thankfully, due to controlled burns and other fire fighting measures, it is not currently posing the same degree of risk to our immediate area. Hopefully, as the temps drop further and rain returns after a summer of drought, it won’t be too much longer before this mighty blaze is finally quashed for good.

On a more upbeat note, fall is nearly here and that has me all but bouncing off the walls with joy.

I hope that the upcoming season is a time of immense wellness, positivity, joy, inspiration, and festive fun for you, dear lady. 🍂

Big hugs,
🖤 Autumn

Hand on my heart, your incredible sweet, supportive comment brought tears to my eyes, Donna. Thank you deeply for the blessing of your boundless kindness. 🙏

And let us thank every star in the universe that a worst-case scenario has not – knock wood! – unfolded here regarding the local wildfire situation.

Despite September housing cooler temps and a few rainy days so far, that huge blaze is still going strong (and is actually estimated to be slightly larger now than back when I wrote this post). However, controlled burns and other measures carried out by the BC Wildfire personnel has helped to keep reaching our immediate area thus far.

May that continue to remain the case and may this – and all other – forest fire(s) of 2021 soon be extinguished for good. 🙏

Aww, thank you very much! I cherish and adore this special photo. Who knows, maybe one of these years I’ll go as a cat again as a tribute to my very first Halloween costume and in celebration of my awesome mama who has always supported my boundless passion for October 31st.

Less than 1.5 months to go no until All Hallows’ Eve returns. I can scarcely wait and hope that the ensuing few weeks between then and now are a safe, happy, festively fantastic chapter of the year on both our ends.

Immense hugs & the most heartfelt of thanks again,
🖤 Autumn

But then seriously, how cute were you as a baby? This is such a perfect pic of you and your Mum! Loved it!!
