The littlest Grace makes the dinner. First time ever. And she's a wee 9 year old. (This wouldn't be happening if the parents were here...but they aren't and I'm letting her.)
I'm pretty sure our dinner is Spaghetti. She made Pasta, Red Sauce, Toasted English Muffins, and her dessert appears to be vanilla ice cream in little dishes with peach slices and red sprinkles.
This is epic. I'll try and get pictures.

Golden Trees, Scarves and Sweaters
The Harvest Gathering is in 7 more days.
I'm so excited about a weekend of music, friends, food, drinks and a good time.
The great weather is great. And cold. And I'm wearing pants, scarves and sweaters every day. And socks. I even slept with my socks on... nope I didn't.
The past days have been full of office work, cleaning, schooling and kittens that I don't like.
The parents both got sick. And are getting better. I'm busy but happy. Butternut Squash for dinner is beautiful.My bible is full of useful knowledge and I'm getting caught up on laundry and work. Its great. And now I'm ending this because Michal has jelly in her hair and Ben is just innocently weeding the garden...

I want to Fall
I just want to carve a pumpkin okay? I just want to get lost in a corn maze okay? I am happy about all the apple cider I've been drinking. I'm happy about baking things full of apples and pumpkin and squash and spices. I like teaching the schoolgirl sisters of mine. I like wearing the red sweater and the hiking boots. The ground is kinda muddy and stuff. The air bites my face sometimes. And stings a little. Probably I should wear a scarf. The ground is covered in crunchy leaves. Driving through Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina is such beauty. And then we get to South Carolina and its here too. All the leaves have changed and its great. My days are full of packing up the Summer and readying for the Winter. Cleaning and teaching. Music and work. Its all good. I want this Fall to be such real good Fall.

My last night
Last night we got home from our trip. And something happened.
First of all, on our way home the Lord blessed me with some amazing boots. So I was pretty excited and started wearing them right away. you know, to break them in. And we stopped in Asheville to see Joshua and Kalyn. We were inside a Macdonalds and I couldn't get a word in edgewise so I decided to get in that playplace and get me some attention. (Ileftmyshoeson) So I was happy I could still climb all up in there. Then when I went down the slide it was like pitch black dark and scared me so I learned my lesson about trying to get attention. I will just let others talk the most.
After we left that place we drove home.
We got home and it was late and dark and everyone was jabbering on about how excited Tegan would be to see us. And I'm like um yeah, she will be excited because someone told me if you leave your dog for more than 3 days it thinks youre dead. not mentioning any names... my sister Daniele Clark. So, Ben said we should probably film the reunion incase something exciting happened like oh idk a heart attack or 4 feet jump in the air or something.
So Everyone is clammouring to get out of the van and I'm pulling on my new boots and getting out too. I've got the camera on and everything, following Ben. All the sudden he starts to kinda run, so I like started to run to and I hit the ground hard. I mean I fell hard. And as soon as I hit the ground I knew what had happened. and I started laaauughhhinnggg.. I haven't laughed that hard at myself in a while. When we were in the van I tied my bootlaces together so I could find my shoes easier when it was time to get out... and I forgot I had done that.
So a couple bloody hands and scrapped up elbow and knee and leg and muddy, leaf covered clothings later... Jess learned a lesson. If you want your left side to stay safe. Do not forget you tied your shoelaces together.

too tired to be inspired
Dear People,
This past weekend has been a very full one. Actually this past week, month, season, however far back I choose to go, its all full of everything.
And I just want to be wide awake and have time to write it all down.
And right now, I probably won't even get half of what I want wrote.
So I'm not gonna even attempt.
Just know that in the very near future some stories from the last two weeks of my life are going to grace your newsfeeds and tumblrs and whatnot...I also am posting an album or two of my sister's birthday (kinda afterthefact but its still fun pictures)and our Indiana/Chicago/Kentucky trip. I will start posting video blogs. And hopefully get it all linked to our band web stuff soon. Should be interesting. I'm excited to get it all wrote out and sort my thoughts. And I'm actually enjoying realizing that as I journal and sort through all the craziness in my head the whole internet world can read about it and laugh at/with me.
Love, Jess
