Thank you deeply, my very dear friend. I am the first to openly admit that it often gets a lot trickier to wax poetically about summer if you’re experiencing it in a humid environment.

Thankfully, most of the time, our corner of BC (which is situated at the tip of one of the aridest regions of Canada) experiences quite a dry heat, but such was far from the case during the six years that Tony and I lived in Ontario. There, the summertime humidity was often off the charts and drained one faster than a bathtub. 🥵

I still enjoyed summer, but the humidity made me long for fall’s return all the more, no two ways about it, so I can sincerely relate to how you feel about the year’s toastiest season. 🌞

It is sincerely touching to know that what I shared here resonated with you. Hard to believe there are only about 1.5 months to go no until the next post in this quarter series appears here. How our beloved fall zooms by!!!

Oodles of hugs from my heart to yours,
🖤 Autumn

Thank you abundantly, my dear friend – wholeheartedly including regarding your caring well wishes for my health.

Unfortunately, things continue to be a very complex, uncertain, challenging situation there and, as a result, I am lucky if I’m doing well to make it online for even just a few minutes most days (so hence why it’s been next to impossible for me to be very active on IG for the past several months).

That said, as always, I remain steadfastly committed to finding the answers and, I hope + pray, the help I currently need on the medical front. Just as I am to never giving up hope or letting the toughest aspects of my life rob all of the joy, goodness, and blessings from my days.

And few things in the universe bring me the kind of happiness that our mutually treasured fall time does, so thankfully the current season is doing wonders to lift my spirits and counterbalance some of the challenges in my/our life right now (be they health related or otherwise).

Just ten brief days to go now until All Hallows’ Eve returns, which means that – just like you – I’ll soon be rewatching Hocus Pocus again. I haven’t gotten in as many viewings of it throughout 2021 as in some years past, so am extra excited to curl up with Annie and savour this (now) classic Halloween movie again. It’s awesome that since discovering HP, you’ve become a big fan as well. Love that!

Oodles of hugs & the sweetest, happiest and most festive of spook season wishes! 🎃

Thank you deeply, sweet soul. I am truly sorry that the current climate that the pandemic has wrought in our society feels parallels some of your unpleasant experiences with fundamentalist individuals and mindsets.

I can very easily see and understand how (and why) that would be the case. All the more reason why this devastating illness and the societal rifts it has caused cannot come to an end soon enough.

May each day of this autumn bring wellness, serenity, happiness, and reasons to smile your way.

What a fantastic comment, sweet Pauline. Thank you very much for brightening my week with it.

While fall reigns supreme as my favourite season, I enjoy each chapter of the year and can usually put up with pretty extreme weather conditions/temps, if need be. That said, if I could set nature’s temp with the press of a button, I’d opt for mild fall or spring weather the overwhelming majority of the time.

How exciting! You excel at intricate paper crafting projects and would, I’m certain, make a jaw-droppingly gorgeous loaded envelope or pocket, my very talented friend.

Big hugs & the happiest of wishes for the second half of October coming your way.

You’re very kind and supportive, sweet Janey. Thank you so much!

We’re all of a month into autumn and I’ve already tucked away scores of great fall entries to include in the next edition of this post series.

Big hugs & the loveliest of October wishes coming your way,
🖤 Autumn

Joyful autumn wishes to you as well, my cherished friend!

Many thanks for your terrific comment and for letting me know that the loaded envelope tutorial link caught your eye in particular. Great observation! I totally agree regarding how naturally this type of project lends itself to bookmaking.

Please don’t hesitate to share snaps with me if you give making a loaded envelope a go. I would be delighted to see your own inspiring take on this project anytime. 😃

How awesome that summer is upon you and that you’re planning to savour as much of it as you can from the pool. That sounds incredible!

Thank you very much for your supportive, wonderfully kind words. It’s a joy to connect with you via our blogs, sweet Annie.

Many hugs & wishes for a sunny, safe, fabulous summer!

Thank you sweetly on every front, my lovely friend and fellow fall adoring soul.

It is my absolute pleasure! Tucking away links, as I discover them, for each fresh edition of this post series has added even more fun and enjoyment to the act of blogging for me.

Many hugs & the sweetest of October wishes coming your way,
