Merry Meet my friends! I sure hope that all of you are surviving this Winter we are having! Seems like no matter where you live, you are having colder, wetter, snowier, windier and icier weather this year! (not sure those are all real words but you know what I mean LOL) I love Winter as you all know and I still do. I think this amazing weather we’re having is Mother Earth making an adjustment for some of the mild Winters we’ve had in the past several years. At least where I live that is the case. It’s a good thing 🙂 Spring will come….really…it will!!
I’m posting today because I was honored to receive two blog awards…both awards awarded to me by two different friends and fellow bloggers! I was thrilled!! The first friend, Vickie Lesperance over at this blog http://www.aoibhealslair.com/not-just-one-but-two-awards/

My Moonlit Path..... 
Congrats and thanks so very much, Autumn. I love your alphabet list. You had me at books, moon, night, earth, Witches… okay, so you had me a bunch of stuff. For instance, I, too hope to open a book shop. Something small. My Piano Man and talk about it, saying that he would play the piano and I would hold bookish parties, lol. It’s only a dream now, but one day, right? 🙂
Thank you Magaly and I just had to pass the award on to you for your wonderful blog 🙂 LOL…I’d say we have a LOT in common. Me too on the small bookshop..with comfy overstuffed chairs in front of a fireplace..good coffee and a shop cat 🙂 Yes we can dream for sure!! Thank you!!
