Happy weekend everyone!
This has been another full month. We had a marvelous little jaunt to the ocean at the beginning of it (some highlights: seeing so many pelicans, literally driving up through the heavy fog into the sunlight and then looking out across all those billowing pillows, catching glimpses of just a wee bit of bioluminescent algae, going on massive shell hunts, and some really good food -- so all very exciting). A sweetly restorative, memorable time.
And we had a couple rounds of house guests. 🫶
Altogether, a busy season with lots of catching up, personal growth, and so on. I'm very much looking forward to this coming month -- settling into more hours of candlelight + fall routine + working away at some decluttering / organization.
I hope you're all having a lovely week!
As always, feel free to join any time here until the next prompt goes up. 💜

October's prompt is:
A wedding in book or film
I hardly knew what to pick for this month... I'm in such a mood for mists and mellow fruitfulness and mushrooms in baskets and heavy dew on grass and warm coziness + castles and swords and swirling cloaks and an edge of danger. And adventure in far places.
After much pondering (it's also late at night, so perhaps this should've been wildly obvious from the get-go), I realized I should share something from Brigadoon. It's ridiculously perfect. So for my contribution, I'm highlighting the wedding at the climax of the film (it's not the main characters, so I don't think it'll be a major spoiler ;)).
The depth and and wistfulness of Brigadoon always strike me. Plus how the entire story keeps relentlessly snowballing along, with deceptively unruffled undertones of simple hearted good cheer, up to the grand wedding at the end. (Which wedding -- if not historically accurate, yes -- is seriously epic.)
It's fairy tale territory.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and look forward to further confabulation. Please just be courteous to one and all. Oh, and I love thoughts on old posts, so comment away!
(Also of late -- what with time being finite, and Life Happening + managing multiple blogs and computer issues and all that -- I sometimes have to alternate between creating new content and replying to comments, but rest assured I'm thrilled to hear from each and every one of you and always hope to reply thoughtfully in full ASAP.)
