3-party weekend & Happy Autumnal Equinox

Autumnal Equinox, Mabon, is today. Mama's time of year has arrived. Aaaahhh.....red, orange, russet, yellow.....maroon, brown, gold, auburn.....wine, gourds, pine cones, acorns.....apples, pomegranates, seeds, corn.....honeysuckle, marigold, milkweed, sage.....nuts, potatoes, carrots, onions.....protection, prosperity, security, self-confidence..... Busy weekend. Saturday Lars & I went to a friend's 3rd birthday party in Lawrence (can't wait to get copies of the photos to post-- adorable). They decorated straw hats & had a tea party. Lars actually fussed a great deal, feeling sometimes out of sorts. Today brought a great hike in Wakefield for Mama's friend's 39th birthday, followed by hands-down the best ice cream I've ever had at Richardson's in Middleton.Then off to Watertown for Joa's friend's 12th birthday party consisting of outdoor laser tag. Way fun.
