On September 21, Fall began. Proserpina's mother, the Earth Goddess, Demeter, gets unhappy for these next six months, which is why we have Fall and Winter. The dropping of the leaves from trees, and the accumulation of snow is akin to her shedding tears.
Don't be fooled by naysayers, girls, who insist the season begins tomorrow. It began yesterday, and now we have to wait for the return of Proserpina, come Spring. No wonder Mother's Day is in May. The Earth Goddess, Demeter, will be so happy to have her daughter back, who can blame her for celebrating?
Speaking of celebrating, or NOT, girls, the season opener of "American Horror Story: Delicate" was awful Sure, it was nice of Ryan Murphy to cast Emma Roberts against type, though I prefer her mean, but the problem was the writers let poor Emma down. All she did was run through these expressionistic sets, suggesting a very stylized New York that has nothing to do with the one any of us know, darlings. It was like schlock imitation of Murnau. The whole thing looks to have been lifted from, not one, but two Ira Levin works--"Rosemary's Baby" and "The Stepford Wives." I am convinced the husband and Denis O'Hare (who looks awful, either due to make-up or age) are in on some kind of scientific scheme, and Emma is the guinea pig. Oh, really! The show used to have high standards of originality, but seems to be sinking into a creative quagmire, just by having Kim Kardashian be the liveliest thing in the show, relying on her to see words like "cunt," and expressions like "suck my clit." Is this really what we want to watch, girls? Sounds sexist to me. Sounds also like the writers have run out of ideas. Maybe it is time to bury this show, before it does itself in.Not a great way to start Fall, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am SO ready for some cooler weather!!
My attitude suffers this time of year; it seems like it’s been hot and sweaty forever, my poor skin is red and rashly, lots of confusing and depressing things seem to be happening, and just, Ready for New Beginnings!!!!
Victoira,
I am with you too. I want cooler weather, but sunny. These dreary days from Ophelia are dragging me down.
