There's A Definite "Nip" In The Air!

If you don't know by now this is my favorite time of the year! There is a definite "nip" in the air 'cause I can feel it! The nights are getting much, much cooler. I took a stroll to do an errand and the leaves are dropping everywhere. It was even chilly out enough for me to "cover" up! (Which is the way that I like it.)

I did my errand around 8:30 this morning and the scenes were just like out of a picture book. You know school kids with their parents waiting on the corner for the school bus, College students on the way to classes and even a tree in my area that has acorns that are falling - I'm sure the squirrels are loving it!

On my grocery list is apple juice/cider, pound cat plus I already have some nuts from before (no, not the ones from the tree-LOL!)

Mabon!

My favorite holiday of them all!

And it has just begun for another year! There is definitely a "chill" in the air! As a matter of fact my heater came on last night because I still had the windows up! The temperature went down into the mid-40's -definitely NOT summertime weather and temperatures at all!

Mabon is the time of year to get one's self ready for the upcoming winter and that is exactly what I plan to do! There is a lot of clearing of weeds that I have to do, leaves that have to be raked and supplies that have to be stored for the upcoming winter. I want to have an adequate supply of rock salt plus some essentials and basics in case I get "pleasantly" snowed in - things like toilet paper, cans of soup, enough catfood for my cat and cigarettes because I am a smoker.

My grocery plans for this season include pound cake, apples, nuts and the other foods that are associated with Mabon.

"Mabon is considered a time of the Mysteries. It is a time to honor Aging Deities and the Spirit World. Considered a time of balance, it is when we stop and relax and enjoy the fruits of our personal harvests, whether they be from toiling in our gardens, working at our jobs, raising our families, or just coping with the hussle-bussle of everyday life. May your Mabon be memorable, and your hearts and spirits be filled to overflowing!"
