Amor Milagre Autumn Adventures October Baby Pumpkin Patch, Beach, Farm, & Festival. Nature Photography
Nature guides us, connects us, and frees us. Our most meaningful adventures are our own. We prefer our wanderings as the annual festivals are too loud, pollutive, uninteresting, and exhausting. This autumn, we ramble out with the long waves and tumbling orchards, low tide beaches, hollow cold pumpkin patches, and our own cosy Rose Cottage bakes. Our Sunday mornings are for jack-o-lantern carvings and fall-themed word puzzles. We still have much to do, but it’s far less than before, so we’re enjoying our slow moments under quilted clouds and October breezes. Fun is easily found by accident!
*Shop: NEW Nature Photography (Fine Art Prints and Stationery) are coming up, featuring our past Summer-Autumn film archives. (Not shown here yet.) New pastels are dusting in, too.
A magical autumn to you! Love, ~ Amor Milagre

Amor Milagre Balloon Pumpkin Patch, Early Autumn & End of Summer Days & Decor
Early crisp breezes, and that certain quieting in the leaves outside my morning window, tell me Autumn is joining us for tea. Out come the cosy blankets and sweaters. I paint up some new notecard designs. We reread old favourites and open the game cupboard. I wrap up Summer in family albums. Lessons tuck into homeschool portfolio pages. The necessary slowing of souls is stirring up comfort as the new daily rain trickles away the whirling of summer. Hang scarves and knit berets on the hook, for we await thy sweet calm. Love, ~ Amor Milagre
Amor Milagre Photo Album Catch Up, Early Autumn & End of Summer Days & Decor
We refresh our year-round homeschool supplies with pretty rainbow pencils, earthy clays and paints, sweet folders, encouraging stickers, and lovely blank notebooks. A few vintage textbooks make their way to our shelves, in French and Swedish. We sell clothes that have grown too adorably tiny, keeping some favourites, and wash new gangly organic pajamas full of ghosts and pumpkins.

*I missed some decorating, and huge parts of our life, due to being stuck in bed for two weeks + a lifetime. Note to smokers: If you must pollute yourselves, do it alone in your home (and don’t move), not in public, and certainly not at non-smoking public beaches where families think they finally have a refuge. Not in doorways, outside doctor’s offices and hospitals, schools…no smoking anywhere. We shouldn’t have to survive you, if we even can. Smoking is highly dangerous to everyone. Think about it. What is in the air moves with the wind. It doesn’t disappear, but it goes directly into our lungs. We have no control over this, but you do, so stop it. Ban smoking forever. It is a crime to harm people and the environment. The ducks and fish eat your pollution left behind. It is in the water and soil, too. Homes, vehicles, gardens, etc are ruined. Childhoods and days of our life are tragically altered, and in place of joy all is left is fear and illness that never fades but spreads and limits. It’s not unserious or fleeting. It is permanently destructive to the lining of our world. I live in infinite coughs and struggles to breathe. My family becomes so as well, as they make tea. Tea? Tea cannot battle you. We shouldn’t have to survive you…or not survive you. Be aware that respiratory issues are, and always have been, a main concern. End pollution now. We deserve life.

Amor Milagre Beachy Weekend Morning, Freeport Maine Oceanscape
A rejuvenating morning of just being…by the sea. Too mucky for swimming, but some sandcastles were built, a picnic enjoyed, merry-go-rounds spun, smiles photographed, and books savoured. I adore our family downtime. We’ve been needing this. Just sit…stroll…breathe…
A Soft Breezy Weekend… Love, ~Amor Milagre
