magicks are real...

december already?

wow...

i'm here again, finally.  

so...five things friday? 

1 - i love walking in the woods. it is one of my favorite things and equally as special to me as walking along the shore of the ocean.

2 - sometimes, when i get what i call a 'wild hair' i just go with it and 9 times out of 10 i love the results.

3 - magicks are real

4 - i'm already missing winter. i know to most of the world winter doesn't officially begin until dec 21. but to me, winter solstice marks the middle of winter. living in the south it is hard to really have the kind of winter i love, full of cold weather and tons of snow. so knowing it is almost over makes me sad.

5 - this goes back to #3 above. this week, while walking in the woods, i kept hearing these strange sounds. my first thought was dear antlers cackling against each other. i stopped and looked, but could never find anything. then, i kept wondering if it was the trees creaking in the wind. today i heard the sounds again and still couldn't see anything. i made my rounds through the trees and paths and i kept thinking how much i would love to see a deer. i had the thought (when i heard it again) 'the bucks must be playing. i wish they'd come down where i can see them.'

as i passed onto the last trail, headed back to my car, i heard the sound and it was close. i stopped and looked into the trees. and up on a ridge i saw movement. then i heard it again and saw two young bucks playing! i couldn't get a good look but tried to get a photo (the first photo in the post) but then i stopped and just watched as they played.  it felt so magical and special that i was in tears as i made my way back to the car. 

yesterday i saw a post on IG about synchronicities and how if we pay attention we can see the magic in the world. :-)

so i'll reiterate #3 - magicks are real!

well...that's what i've got for this second friday in december. before we know it, it will be january and a new calendar year.

how've you been?  how was your november? 

thanks for being here...
