For the first time in my life, I’ve had the privilege to watch the seasons change. And it is such a thing of beauty. The same tree that was once bare grows lush with greenery. People ditch their black coats for floral dresses and summer hats, fashioning their summer tan. Parks once empty become littered with picnic and barbecue-goers. While I enjoyed the snow capped mountains and rooftops of winter and the blossoming flowers in spring, I eagerly anticipated summer just as a child awaits that final school bell to ring. Some of our favourite activities were had in the past few months.. the scenic hikes, train rides, mountain carting, watching cows graze the grass.. Part of me is sad to see summer go, while part of me looks forward to watching the leaves fall next. Changing seasons mark the passing of time, and the impermanence of things.. Things to let go of, things to look forward to. I try to cherish every moment, and savour the experiences before they leave me. I’ve busted my phone storage with pictures to remind myself of the moments long after they’re gone. This cake is probably already “gone” by the time you see it, but this picture will always remind me of this moment between summer and fall somehow, something a little boho for that summer spirit, a little rah-rah, yet with an autumn-y feel. 🍃🍂 PS. That dream catcher is made of sugar too! xx Design adapted from Blair Bailey Design‘s most beautiful dream catcher and floral artwork.
