autumn wishes. Harvest moon.

Sending out wishes that this autumn beauty is reaching you, wherever you are, and you can indulge in whatever your favorite form of autumn coziness is: pumpkin spice, hot tea or cider in a sweater or favorite scarf, scary movies, decorations or pumpkin carving, candy, searching for mushrooms, baking, moonlit strolls, eerie stories, crunchy leaves underfoot, watching leaves turn and birds and squirrels finding seeds and berries and nuts, evening candle lit baths or reading time, warm socks or jackets or hoodies, golden hours, wood fires, orange highlights, extra eyeliner, flirty necklines, delicate jewelry, black on black clothing, spooky music and dancing, savory soups, sweet chocolate or baked apples or pie or fruit crisp with whipped cream, hand holding and cuddles if you're into that, kitty purrs or puppy loves, soft hauntings, warm memories of loved ones lost, if that's your vibe. Magic everywhere. Happy almost full October moon.

What's your favorite autumn experience?

I'm tired after a lovely day of werk and purposefully zoning out so stealing this for funzies:

1)👱🏻♂️ Brothers: 1 full, 2 step, all older
2)👩🏻 Sisters: no but Natasha feels like one
3)👶 children: nevaaaarrrrr
4)☀️ Tattoos: not yet
5)💍 Piercings: 3 (2 in my left earlobe, 1 on the right), my navel piercing closed long long ago.
6)🌴 Been to an island: Ischia, Catalina, those little ones in the Willamette (e.g. Ross?), England/Scotland/Ireland.
7)✈️ Flown on a plane: Yep, not my favorite. First flight was probably in my late teens? Most recently flew to the grand canyon in Feb 2020, right before the plague
8)🚑 Ridden in an ambulance: Yes, not for myself, with a hurt friend - not recommended.
9)⛸Ice Skating: It's a thing I grew up doing (also where aforementioned hurt friend had gotten hurt), I was competitive for several years and still skate for fun when my skates are functional (which they currently aren't)
10)🚢Been on a Cruise: Something about this idea grosses me out, no.
11)🏍Ridden on a Motorcycle: Took a riding/safety class twice and have my endorsement, but I don't really ever ride, it's been since 2008ish I think. My dad had motorcycles and my brother has a harley, my step-brothers ride dirt bikes all the time still.
12)🐴Ridden on a horse: Yes I love horses so much, I rode recreationally as a teenager and have done trails on them a few times as an adult.
13)🚓Ridden in a police car: No thanks!
14)🏥Stayed in a hospital: Yes for 10 days after my hip was reconstructed, my poor nurses, bleargh.
15)👀Eye Color: Blue, on the greyish/greenish side
16)📱Last phone call: Just talked to Eric tonight, sigh
17)☕Coffee: evrah dae lol
18)🥧Favorite pie: I bake a lot of pies, they're kind of all my favorite.
19)🐕favorite dog: my childhood dog Boo-Boo was the best dog in the entire universe. I love all dogs, mutts are the best. I seriously love everything from teacup poodles to great danes. I do find pugs kind of repulsive and sad, I wish people wouldn't breed dogs that can't see or breathe properly. but it's not their fault and I still love their little gross faces lol. I feel this way about persian cats, too. I think elongated muzzles are what make cats and dogs beautiful, I read that people breed these smoosh faces because they look more human and hence more relatable, I guess I don't like humans enough to understand lol.
20)☀Favorite season: the one I'm currently in, generally (autumn has been so spectacular this year)
22)🎃Favorite holiday: Halloween
23)👮♂️Ever been handcuffed: Nope
24)🍓Favorite fruit: Persimmons
25)🍺 Favorite color: Purple
26)🚜Can you drive a tractor: I couldn't figure out how to shift, the torque on those things is for real
27)🚛Can you drive stick: It's the only thing I drive, still.
28)🚂Have you traveled by train: Yes a few times! To Utah once overnight, to Seattle most recently.
29)🍲Favorite food: too hard to chooooose. avocado toast?
30)🚁 Have you ridden in a helicopter? I don't think so, I remember flying over Loowit (Mt St Helens) after the eruption but I think that was a small plane? It erupted when I was 5 so I was probably 6 or 7 so my memory is hazy.
