1 - I am grateful for my health, for the reminder that everything changes, so too do the seasons, for my two kitties, for my fiancee who teaches me daily who to soothe my soul and share with others, and finally, I am grateful for my capacity to care. I have spent MANY a tearful night wishing away my sensitivity and love for others, but today, that stops. I am a caring, sensitive AND strong human who is only enriched by my care for others, not limited by.

2 - I just started creating air plant & seashell creations and selling them on my website. Here's a pic: https://imgur.com/a/J0AkFBN DM me if you'd like one for your home ;)

3 - This would be my dogs, if I had any dogs... lol https://larl.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/halloween-dogs.jpg

4 - My favorite thing about fall is remembering how I felt at the beginning of the year and feeling the first gap in who I was when the year began and who I am now, nearly 3/4ths through the year. It's like lifting the lid on a humidity dome over freshly sown seeds; your first look upon the harvest you are cultivating. Fall is the first moment when growth shows, for me. I can look back on the more naive version of myself and feel comfort (or strength?) at the person I am cultivating right now. Personal inventories are important before winter, as they fortify the soul for a cool period of dormancy.

BV LOVES FALL!!!

GRATITUDE LIST!
My Family
My Friends
My Kitties
HP
The Horses

CRAFT TIME!
Painting and turning these guys into magnets...
Clicky Here!
Pretty sure I'm not going to be seeing any leaves turn their colors this year which is depressing even to think about.
Why did I move? D,:

DÉCOR TIME!
I have a bunch of leaf garlands I string everywhere around the house er now apartment. Pumpkins placed here and there, just decorative ones this year. A pumkin cat bed for the kitties, but I leave that out year round for them. xD

FAVORITE THING ABOUT FALL/AUTUMN
My favorite thing is seeing all the pretty leaves on the trees turning colors. The crunch beneath my feet as I walk along a path with fallen leaves. The crisp smell to the air and wearing sweatshirts. Ponies start to get fuzzy growing in their winter coats. Halloween and all its fun and spoopy movies/tv shows!

Points: Split between Horse (#339058) & Horse (#339715)
Thank you!!! < 3

GRATITUDE LIST! 

1. My Huskies Puppies - they have brought me so much joy and adventure.

2. My Smokey Kitty - she is slowing down and I have had her for 16 wonderful years. She's gone to college with me, and lived with me in my nomadic years. A cat that loves everyone, goes in a purse and travels in the car for fun. She'll fight you for some Chickfila nuggets and then cuddle next to you all night. I'm thankful for the time I have left with her, though it is limited now.

3. I guess I could say my boyfriend.... but he doesn't need a long sappy post XD

4. My mare Chapel. She has given me the world. I bought her just for practice in the backyard and she's competed against horses that are worth $100k and won against them on the national stage. We were never supposed to leave the back yard and she's given me the chance of a lifetime, and a few championships along the way

5. My parents; although I don't *always* see eye to eye with them, they are always there to fall back on if I really need them. I know that even though I'm independent, I'm not alone. And they will support me in whatever I chose to be

 

CRAFT TIME!

(For 10,000 points – I will do this eventually XD)

 

DÉCOR TIME!

Chris and I already got pumpkins!!! And these really cool plants that look like trolls! If I have tme, I will snap a pic! But our front porch already has the "fall" feel. Next we will break out the fake fall leaves and weave them inbetween the pumpkins!

 

TELL US YOUR FAV THING ABOUT FALL

I like the two weeks were everything is pretty and changing colors (before everything looks totally dead and it gets cold). I think it is the BEST time to take pictures outside, whether it's family pics or husky pics or pics with my ponpon. It's when I always schedule photoshoots for outside.

Gratitude list: 


1. my son


2. my husband


3. my house


4. my cats


5. new baby


 


Craft:


I'm looking for something even easier. Toddler-level, so my son can craft with me. Let's say it's in progress.


 


Decor:


I don't decorate for fall, other than being lazy about raking the leaves outside! They haven't started to fall yet, but trees are just starting to change colors now. I don't do much as far as decorations until after Thanksgiving. ;)


 


Favorite thing:


Let's be real. My favorite thing about fall is the drop in temperatures! I'm so over summer, bring on the cooler weather! I live for it!

1.       GRATITUDE LIST! I am grateful for my family members that I like, my friends who mean the world to me, Rob gets to have his own part in my list as he has been my rock through so much crap, my pets - ponies and puppies as they give me a reason to get out of bed every day and finally my health - I am so lucky that I can get out of bed each day.


 


2.       CRAFT TIME! 


 


3.       DÉCOR TIME! Fall is not something the UK celebrates so we don't decorate for it but if I did I would put pumpkins out and string up bunting with fall colour leaves on it.


 


4.       TELL US! What is your favorite thing about fall / autumn? Autumn is not too hot nor too cold and it means we can get the ponies out and do faster work without worrying about overheating and the pups can join us for the same reason.

1. I'm grateful for my husband, my son, my horse, my house, and finally getting to be a stay-at-home Mom.

2. https://i.imgur.com/OJSa3p1.jpg It's a work in progress. I'm doing it with my 3 year old. Will update later if we finish it before this activity ends. But it's going to look something like [this] only we traced his feet for the bodies. He loved me tracing his feet so we're doing multiple! Oh well, I'll give some away to grandparents for thanksgiving.

3. I don't really do much fall decorating (or any decorating for that matter other than Christmas). But I grew pumpkins in my garden for the first time this year so I have pumpkins all around my house. Plus, I painted one of the small ones with my son and niece and nephew (they took theirs home). My son loves to paint! I also like carving a pumpkin every year and my husband enjoys roasting the seeds in the oven.

4. My favorite part of fall is watching all the trees change colors. It's so pretty! This is my favorite season to trail ride.

1. My boyfriend, my cats, my house, a job that's paying things, and that I have this whole week off


2. Will update 


3. Of course I decorate (: I was raised in the old south we decorate for everything. My mantel gets leaves and pumpkins, same for around the front door, pumpkins on the steps, and of course fall scented candles! I tried to grow pumpkins like Nadhima but they never got pollinated so they're just vines taking over lol 


4. My favorite part of fall is getting to wear sweaters. It doesn't snow here, but it does get chilly. I opt for cute oversized sweaters instead of hoodies. And I love wearing boots. I also like making Mike go on walks with me to take pictures together with all the pretty colors

1. My parents, my friends, my cat, a stable job, my home... and honestly? I'm just really grateful for everything I have.

2. https://i.imgur.com/JuF9lJw.png I don't have craft supplies about, so I just drew something ^^

3. Since I have a cat and live in an apartment, I don't typically decorate. If I were to decorate though, I'd string up some lovely garlands, a wreath and maybe even carve a pumpkin. Maybe I'll do that anyways! The seeds are delicious to toast.

4. My favourite thing about autumn is watching the leaves change. The shift in temperature that invites hot tea and cider, and watching the city settle in for the upcoming winter.

Grateful
That I still got to go to work whilst others had to go into lockdown and had to work from home.
For the hard work done by the N.H.S. and other healthcare workers.
For my bff and cats.
That I have great colleagues. Makes a huge difference to my workday.
That I live in a country which doesn't have extreme weather or wildfires.

Craft
Conkers are awesome!
https://i.imgur.com/8dnNz4B.png

Decor
I would have autumnal colours everywhere, and dry pine cones, and leaves and twigs with ripened berries on them. I'd have dried gourds and corn, too. For night, there'd be candles that smell like things related to autumn. 

Fave
Changing colours of leaves. Harvest time. Hallowe'en and fireworks. Longer nights. Shoofing my feet through piles of leaves. Going to my local park to find conkers (horse chestnuts) and look for fungi. Cooler weather.

1. I am grateful for my parents for everything they've done for me, my horse (Herbie) because he is the perfect horse for me, my trainer because without her I probably wouldn't have gotten help for my mental issues, to begin with, my best friend because even if we don't talk too much anymore (time zone is a real pain) when we do it's like we've never been apart and Hurley Equestrian, the person that sold me Herbie - she chose to show him to us because she thought he was exactly what we were looking for even if she didn't normally show horses that were 350lbs underweight and no muscling.


4. My favorite thing is that the humidity starts to lessen and we start to get cooler days where I'm not having sweat run down my face from just being outside. Other than that the season still happens but there's really not much change between that in Hawaii. We have "Winter" (where it rains a lot more) and "Summer" the rest of the year, there isn't really an actual seasonal switch that you can see like the mainland.

Gratitude List: 


- Life (with everything going on right now, I'm realizing just how amazing it is to wake up everyday with breath in my lungs and a beat in my heart). 


- Employeement from home. 


- My family (husband, kiddos, sister and her family too). 


- My friends.


- Horse Phenomena! 


Craft Time: 


Coming Soon! 


Decorating


I don't do as much as I would if my husband loved fall and Halloween as much as I do! I do carve pumpkins and do some pretty fall flowers (fake) around the house. I don't have any pictures. 


Fall: 


My favorite part of fall is that everything changes colors. My favorite colors are Silver, Baby Blue, and Orange - and during all the world is covered in beautiful shades of orange and brown. Every fall I find myself itching to make a drive north to the mountains. This year, I may actually go.

Gratitude List
1. God, honestly. His peace, love, and guidance have gotten me through a lot this year; I've needed His strength and patience so much more than usual in 2020.
2. HP - This past year on HP has just been awesome; HP's given me a safe place, something to work on in the midst of quarantine, skills to hone, and a community of friends and wonderful people. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
3. My family - They've been pretty supportive of me despite my being aimless for so many years.
4. My dog - She's a little shit but has been so entertaining this year; plus, she's a total snuggle bug - I've never had a snuggle bug dog before lol.
5. Our firefighters - their 24/7, nonstop, back-breaking work kept a massive wildfire from wiping my town off the map. We owe them so much gratitude, I cannot overstate it.

Favorite Thing
I'm not crazy into fall. I def prefer summer and heat and vacations and all that. However, my favorite things to wear are sweaters and boots, so fall does that for me xD Also, Halloween. I live all year for October; spooky time is the best time.

All points on pupper #119066 please :D

Gratitude List
1. My Lillah, I honestly don't know how I got through days without her. 
2. My family, my mom lost her job in the midst of all of this but it's given her time to visit and bond with my daughter as well as spend time with me. I also see others losing family members left and right and so glad at this time my family is still healthy and happy. 
3. My pets, I'm so glad they are all still happy and healthy as well. 
4. My job, so many people lost their job during this crisis but I'm lucky to still have mine, even if I don't enjoy it, it puts food on my table and keeps a decent roof over my head. 
5. My health, I've remained healthy this year and could not be more grateful. 
 
Craft Time
I'll come back to this. xD
 
Decor Time
While fall is my favorite time of the year, I'm not big on decorating my own home. I love to see other's though! I put a simple glass pumpkin with fall leaves on my dining table and a fall wreath on my front door. 
 
Favorite Thing 

The weather and the holidays. I LOVE sitting outside in the fall weather, usually on a picnic blanket usually and read. I also love Thanksgiving and Christmas and the fact it brings our family together for a short period to spend quality time with each other.

Gratitude List:
1. My family (and husband!!) that is and has always been love, kindness, and support.
2. 2020 for humbling, grounding, and helping me to reassess what life actually means to me.
3. My pets for always being little furballs of sunshine and happiness, and making me laugh even when they aren't.
4. My friends.
5. Every day that I wake up on this side of the Earth, breathing.


Decor Time:
Fall colored flowers and fall candles.  Anything more is beyond my repertoire, I have no talent for decorating anything D:


Favorite Thing:
The drop in humidity and low 80's. I also love the time change as I typically rise an hour or so before the sun, so the earlier it rises, so do I :)

Decor: For fall I put up some orange and green lights on my balcony and I have some halloween little characters I set out. Not a lot cuz no one sees it but me haha.


Favorite thing: the colors! I love the trees in the fall. My mom and I always take an annual "leaf drive" and take a long day drive along the river valley here as it is stunning during prime fall colors. If I ever get married someday, I'd love to get married in October simply for the fantastic outside pictures. :P
