Curious Kitty in the Afternoon

We're All a Little Mad Here...

“Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business.”

-Tom Robbins 

In the midst of midterms week, when the reality of my life was the backside of a bookshelf on the fourth floor of the library, I needed a little bit of magic. In the low light of solar lanterns and old christmas lights on precarious tree branches, somewhere between the old pond and the haunted figurines; there was a birthday. A mad birthday. With tea in mason jars and dancing cow pots. Lemon cakes and cucumber sandwiches. For a few hours, we stepped into our own wonderland, and it was not a bad place to be after all. Sometimes the unknown, the irrational, the whimsical, is not more beautiful than our reality, but simply the escape down the rabbit hole we've all been looking for. 

Falling in love

It is beautiful outside. There's something magical about fall. October is my favorite month and with the colors on the palouse, it is not difficult to see why. Apple cider, acorn squash, and , of course, peppermint schnapps. Pretty sure fall is my boyfriend. That is all.
