Yes, I have been silent for awhile now. My stress levels have been skyrocketing for the last few weeks, and I'm sure you know how monopolizing stress can be on time and energy reserves. While I struggle to put stress back on its leash and to stop letting it run wild in the makeshift backyard that is my mind, I have perhaps been heeding the advice of one age-old saying: "If you don't have anything nice to say..."
So, for now, instead of nice things to say, I've collected nice things to show: it has been a truly magnificent Fall in Italy, Canada and the U.S. and I have made it a point to marvel at nature's beauty no matter where I am:

Autumn is truly my favorite time of year. Do you agree or have I failed to convince you?
Soooooooo many pumpkins! It's a shame we're having such a shortage now.
