Today is October 1st and Fall is all about change. The word awe means wonder or struck by something. What are you struck by? What are you in wonder over? For me it’s the cool air, beautiful colors and apples, cider, too!

When you are a kid you play in the leaves, then you are told “don’t play in the roadside leaf piles because a car might run you over.” As a kid you keep exploring until someone tells you what not to do. I guess that’s partly how you learn. Today, I imagine (know) kids are taking pictures and sharing to the net, all the glorious colors and fun things to do.

My favorite apple used to be Macintosh and now it’s a Pink Lady or a Crisp. What’s yours?

When I was a kid there was Washington Red and that was it. Do you make pie or crisp or candied apples?

If you do, think about sharing that with me. I’d love to make October all about sharing.

I’d like my  gardenlilie blog to go in another direction and let other people showcase their talents, whether they be writing, poetry, gardening, crafts or whatever.

This will be all about freedom of expression.

Oh yea, my favorite is apple cider when it comes to apples and what can be made from them.

October is also Breast Cancer Awareness month and there are some awesome ladies who’ve conquered this beast.

If you have a story to tell, feel free to share or you can email me and I’ll share it for you.

I’m not really a pink lady myself (you know if somebody tells me to be pink over blue, then I’ll choose blue~are you one of those?) but it does represent the cause and everybody knows what it means.

Go girl power!! We are in AWE of you!!

Lastly, October and the beautiful display of colors has us reflecting our lives in this world. Slow down and appreciate the world, reflect what you have accomplished and what you hope to do.

I look forward to sharing others talents here on my blog, please feel free to pass this forward. My email is simplykim@bellsouth.net. Contributors will be responsible for their own content and copyright.
