Autumn Garden CleaningToday, it’s raining. The early autumn rain is cold and a bit melancholic. It feels different from the rain of spring or summer. I’ve started cleaning my garden little by little. This time of year always makes me feel a bit sad.

Autumn ColoursI went to town today and saw beautiful autumn colours in the trees. My house is high up in the mountains, so when I go down near the ocean, I notice that things are a bit different from the mountain area, especially the colours of the trees, plants, and flowers. Downtown temperatures are at least 2-3 degrees warmer than near my house. The warmer weather seems to make the autumn colours appear faster. There are also various types of fruits and flowers in town because people have planted them, while near my house, there are more wild plants. I saw vivid, colourful plants in the trees. They are red, purple, yellow, and brown.

Message from a CaterpillarI often crave fresh air when I feel stuck inside my house, whether I'm working, creating, deep in thought, or feeling unwell. In those moments, I suddenly pause my work, open the door, and step outside. Usually, this simple action works wonders, and my stuck feeling disappears as soon as I breathe in the fresh air.

AI ImageRed-Tailed HawkI've been hearing beautiful voices from the sky these days. After these sounds, I sometimes hear the usual crows. Red-tailed hawks are flying above my house, and they look like they are playing, practicing, teaching, or perhaps getting ready to migrate.

DIY Coffee TableI posted about the DIY Kitchen and Work Table which was my husband's DIY project for our house before. When we moved in, we gradually decided on our home's theme colours. Black, red, green, and natural wood tones became our theme colours during the process of decluttering.
