The Enchanted Forest - that's what I call my new home on Sand Mountain, Alabama. I tagged it with the name as soon as we drove the U-Haul onto the property in late June, partly to trick my psyche into loving this new, very different locale that I wasn't sure I really wanted. I knew if I told myself often enough that this place was a treasure, I would eventually believe it. It worked. I love my small piece of the planet, and have accepted (almost) everything about it. I wish I'd started this journal the day we arrived - it's too labor-intensive to retrace all the steps that have brought me to this point, so I will begin here and let each day decide what is worthy of documenting. It's self-indulgent, and will surely vacsillate between celebratory and borderline-depressing - but that's what life is. And I find comfort in that cycle. So here goes . . .

Color My World



The rains have come and gone (for now!),the first really coooool snap of the season visited last week, and the happy trees showed their appreciation by bursting forth into glorious hues! My Enchanted Forest blesses me daily with its show of shadow and light, and the dance of the tree canopies in the Autumn wind. I am grateful for these beautiful sights - and it's not even peak color yet! I am lucky, indeed!
