September Fall things: art, adventure, & listening

Last Saturday after work, Ash and I attended the evening showing of our local Storytelling Festival at the Lake. 

The storytellers were fabulous, the bloomin' onions was pretty tasty, and the sunset on the lake was entrancing.

I took a few pictures of the lake when it was cloudy and at sunset as the storytellers began telling ghoststories...

These last 2 weeks, I have spent my time listening and engaging...Engaging with people from all walks of life...at a conference and at a storytelling festival... engaged with nature....listened to a fire crackling by the creek...

...listened to the sound of the water parting against a riverboat that i got ride...

...going down the Ohio River...

...I stopped and admired some street art murals on the way to the river boat...

...and, stop to have a moment to live your life like you're walking the red carpet...

...stop to have a refreshing drink with the view of the river...

...and, make something beautiful, like an inviting Fall setting...

I cut my corn stalks after they dried in the garden and used them as fodder shocks for the fall scene...

I fully support time away from screens, and tune into your surroundings. When you do stuff like that- you get outside of yourself...

Fall is coming in fast. And as these nights are getting cooler, the leaves are changing colors, and falling to blanket the grass. I'm excited for our upcoming trekking trip to the Red river gorge with the colorful fall scenery in the mountains. 

It has been so cold, I brought in all my houseplants 2 days ago. 

With that, I know I need to begin covering my cold weather crops in my garden. They also need a good bit of rain and fertilize. I will check in on the garden this week and I hope to report back that there is some greens to harvest!
