November has arrived, and in many traditions this passage marked the beginning of another year on the wheel. It's an interesting place to recognize a beginning when the light is fading and so much of the natural world appears to be retreating. Here on the coast the rains have returned and the forest floor is coming alive with mushrooms transforming what's fallen into the nourishment for another cycle of life.
We've become accustomed to recognizing beginnings by what we can see taking form, but the old seasonal traditions understood that creation begins before anything becomes visible. There's wisdom in allowing the unseen its place in the process. The wheel turns through its darker passage now, carrying the remains of one season into the beginnings of another. Even the darkness has its work to do.
& here at DuneSide we're keeping the hearth busy with lots of seasonally appropriate flavors. 🍂
We've got plenty of Cranberry Bog Rolls and Pumpkin Rolls today. Our Classic Sourdough is on the shelves too. For soup we have Pumpkin Soup and Wild Rice Turkey Soup. Our Pumpkin C***r Donuts are out too, along with plenty of autumn cookies!
Here's to another turn of the wheel and whatever November has waiting for us. 🕯️🖤✨️
