I've always been rather fond of this font named in honor of the medieval siege engine on the order of the catapult. How is came to be so dubbed, though, I've nary a clue. The title of my blog, on the other hand, got its title from my recent participation in a so-called Spiritual Gifts workshop--where I only confirmed what I've known since grammar school (how much I thrive on the written word, of course!) & hardly needed reminders of. So it is that I hope to blend the knowledge I've gleaned from daily life & my varied interests over the course of my four decades plus on this planet into something fascinating for the reader.
Autumn is a time of year when I seem to find my energy coming back after the long, miserably hot & humid summer has finally receded into memory. I think it's the need to finally wear socks, shoes, & jackets returning that makes me feel more "normal," having been raised in a far cooler climate than the one where I've lived for two decades. Instead of thinking of the colorful leaves as a signal that the world is dying for the winter, I prefer to treat the season as a chance to come out of estivation (as opposed to hibernation) & enjoy the lack of humidity, the cool breezes, and yes, even the need to fire up the wood stove at night.
Until tomorrow...

Middle Aged friend of mine, I too love the Fall with it's cooler temp and crisper air. Where I still do live in that cooler climant of your youth, I am also aware that with the cool comes the cold, icy-slush that is typical of a Southern New England winter. I love when Fall lingers and takes it time in leaving, so I can savor the fresh feeling of comfort that I get from what, as I am sure you remember, is referred to as 'sweatr weather.'
