The first of May and it is chilly outside.
The leaves are falling fast now, dancing in the breeze.
I've had a sore throat so I've stayed indoors.
It gives that
withdrawing-into-my-cosy-cave
sort of feeling.
Two thirds through Autumn ..
Winter is near.

Just the time for thinking of those we love who have gone before us.

So I made a little mandarin lamp to glow in the evening as the days grow shorter
and earth tilts
and we move further from the sun.

  2. A warm and cosy retreat for Winter sounds great. Hope that sore throat disappears soon.

  3. I can just feel the coziness, with your little lamp. Lovely setpiece. Sometimes, the facts, "earth tilts and we move further from the sun," are the most poetic. A very nice feeling to this group of words and images.

  4. I love your lamp and your toadstool in the picture above, Joan. I hope your throat feels better soon and, in the meantime, hunker down into your cave.
