It’s here!
The magical month of auburn light and cooler nights.
Herbs and petals come back to life.
And so I happily gather.
The beautiful scent of English lavender, basil and rosemary swirled together is just too good.
The Hatter left us some warty pumpkins, just perfect for today.
A celebration of seasons and colors explodes.
Oh how I love you October.
Perfect time to make another huge batch of pesto.
I make a sweet lemon pesto, without cheese or garlic.
It’s divine.
I’ll have to share my recipe some time.
But for now it’s just a quick hello.
To say yippeee and hoooooray!
Our favorite month is here.
Wait, is it your favorite month as well?
It’s one of mine for certain.
You might have already guessed that.
Thank you garden for all the beautiful flowers.
I just looove these days.
They seem to flow so quickly, so I want to immerse in every second of the day.
The zinnias and cosmos are ever so tall.
Swaying happily in the early autumn breeze.
Warm days and cool nights.
Sleeping with windows open and needing a thicker quilt at 3 a.m.
Bliss I tell ya, bliss.
To turn the sound of the air conditioner off makes me so overjoyed.
Happy October my friends.
I think we will have a Halloween party this year.
It would be our 10th annual.
I will let you know very soon.
Enjoy these beautiful days!
Love, V
ps: I joined in #Mabsdrawlloweenclub on Instagram, so hopefully I’ll be sharing silly little drawings every day this month over there.

What a cute cat drawing! I needed a smile today…I think we all do…..Happy October, and your warty pumpkins are something out of a fairytale. And zinnias are my very favorite!
The brown hills that surround me take on an enchanting peachy glow on October mornings. I’m putting my gardens to bed today. I’ll miss the flowers. Thank you for the lovely post. I love the warty pumpkins.
hello there Vanessa
I love the month of October also, its magical isn’t it. Love the cooler days and nights thats for sure. I just adore your pumpkins with the flowers on top. Enjoy your day Vanessa*

October is my favorite, most magical time of year! Your warty pumpkins and herbs are lovely; here in Iowa the outdoor herbs have nearly given their last hurrah and the ground is carpeted by crunchy leaves. There will be a bonfire here Friday night so I’m piling the branches and logs high in the fire circle! Time to put out the skeleton family on the porch, set out the lanterns and of course, put pumpkins everywhere. Have a wonderful Autumn season, Vanessa!
The photos are so beautiful!
Yes it is my Favorite Month and Holiday Season as well, I Love everything about it! Your Imagery, as always, is Divine…
October is definitely my favorite month! So happy to see you here. And I’m loving your drawings on Instagram.
love & blessings

Hi Vanessa, I was wondering if you’ve ever heard of the sea-side town of Cambria in California? Every year the town holds a Scarecrow festival in October where you’ll find 100’s of scarecrows lining the streets and everywhere in town. They are all made by the locals. I looked up the festival and it said ” Where whimsy runs rampant” anyway I thought of you. I’m going up to celebrate my 50th Birthday this weekend Yay. Tuttles~
Yay! I was just checking for this 🙂 Gorgeous photos!
YAY- I was so afraid I had missed the Halloween announcement. It has been such a busy month. We are headed out to Haunted capgrounds tonight. I can get pictures to share.
What date is your Halloween Blog Party going to be this year?
I love your cat too! Happy Halloween sweet friend. I mentioned you on my blog this morning…hope you get a chance to stop by and visit. I’m showing the altered book I made with your art on the cover. Hugs, Diane
