Farewell to September

How quickly time passes, regardless of whether you are having fun or not.  Slow days have been my September.  Being kind of lazy some days, whirling about other days.  A lot of sitting, thinking, watching, planning.  Oh yes, procrastination at it's finest!  I've been noticing the shadows, the way they change in September.  Finding it harder to wake up since it's darker longer in the morning.  Wandered downstairs the other morning and was struck by the light shining through the back door curtains. 
 
I've started gathering up things for Dia de los Muertos  coming up in awhile.  This link is to events from 2012. If you look closely you can see the skull hanging on the bakers rack to the right. It's a new one I just bought.  The local parade is being held this year on October 19th.  A bit early, as they usually don't have it until close to the actual days...November1st and 2nd.  At least, in years past, it was closer to the original date.  Not sure why they have moved the local celebrations earlier in the month, but have noticed the past few years it is earlier.  I am determined to finish a couple of the things I started last year and let fall by the wayside.  I seriously seem to have become the Queen of Unfinished Objects the past couple of years!  Not even going to try to analyze that, just attempt to make things right, at least in my own mind, for this coming month alone.

    long shadows seem to encourage reflection and hibernation thoughts and then the gathering and readying for winter.

      I sometime forget when it is still 95 degrees, that yes indeed, winter is coming. When it arrives in Texas, I get to go outside more. Thanks for stopping by.

    The photo of the light and shadows is beautiful. I, too, have been noticing how the light has changed and am enjoying it. I just read something about procrastinating versus percolating that may interest you. I'll send you the link.

      That's a good link from Kate's site. Thanks for sending it. Yes, I do like the idea of percolating. My brain is always percolating about something. I have a friend who says, when he is procrastinating, he prefers to think he's just doing the Preliminaries...before actually starting.

    I love the pic of the light passing through your doors.
    Preliminaries are important to the execution of a project. I know someone who calls the process preliminaries as well. I thought it was pretty appropriate.

      Some days I never seem to make it past the preliminaries though. I'm not sure what the proper number of preliminaries are appropriate before one should actually begin the project. LOL Guess it varies according to individual.
