This morning’s “shopping spree” banishes USUAL SOURPUS SEASONAL ATTITUDE!

October 7, 2026

Most houses in this neighborhood sport minimal or no Halloween paraphernalia. Except for one, two corners south of me, where the student renters went all out, just as they did last year. Love it!

I had to back way way up to get the entire yard and what’s on it.

Notice the pumpkin head witch circle in the left hand corner, one of the witches fronting the white fence?

Here’s the circle,Cle up close.

Oh wow! I didn’t notice until today that one of the witches is veiled . . . Hmmm. . . . Clever comm!

Walking by the other day, as they were setting up one of their displays, I thanked them, saying they were doing it for the whole neighborhood!

 

Yes, and here we are again, another gorgeous fall day. This time I decided to begin to — erase? screen? cover up? — my usual cantankerous old lady attitude towards “the holidays” by going on an unusual “buying spree”. . . . decided to at least dress up the front porch a bit.

Arrived home with these.

Which I then proceeded to place on the front porch. At which point Tiger cat came outside immediately. What’s going on?

One of the mums is in nearly full bloom, but the other one has only barely bloomed. So I figure I’m good for awhile.

Did I want to carve the pumpkin first? Nah. Too much trouble, and too messy, and I’d probably do a lousy job.

But I will make pumpkin puree out of this $3.69 pumpkin from Aldi, to freeze in jars for soup all winter long.

Okay!

Thus did I manage to — dismiss? suppress? overwhelm? —  for the time being, my usual sour seasonal attitude.

Glitching along from 3D to 5D: “Lost my phone! HELP!”

October 6, 2026

After correcting a numerical error in yesterday’s post — I had the election date as 11/5/26, when it’s actually 11/3/26 (though that didn’t change the point I was making re: Venus and Mercury; plus, I actually set the astro chart for the correct date!) — I finally get ready to draft today’s post. Except, oops! I can’t find my phone. Simply can’t find it! It’s nowhere in the house! I go next door, ask friend and neighbor Marita to come over with her phone and ring my phone; She does. Rings it twice. Still no phone.

WHERE IS IT? WHAT DID I DO YESTERDAY? DID I USE THE CAR TO GO SOMEWHERE? COULD IT BE IN THE CAR?

This entire imbroglio ended up seizing my brain to the point where I simply. could. not. think. Period.

Marita, calling my phone again and going for the car, opened the front door and there it was, ringing on the screened porch . . .

I mention this story as an example of what might be happening with lots of people these days, as the linear space/time regularity we have been used to seems to be progressively vanishing into some kind of void, fog, abyss, vacuum . . .

Or maybe, just maybe, this is the 4D chaos ushering us from 3D to 5D? I’ve been writing about this for awhile now. Example:

LET US MOVE FROM 3D TO 5D AND BEYOND

Elizabeth April (a particularly astute young one) has just put up a post on the3D to 5D transition.

 

Until I remind myself of the ongoing 3D to 5D transition, I descend into worry: Who am I? Is this weirdness just due to dissolution of my nearly 84-year old brain?

Geez! Says my scared self, maybe it is!

In any case, I keep going. Might as well. What have I got to lose, if I’ve already lost my mind!

 

Okay, here’s a hilarious astrological “synchronicity” that shifted my morning’s mood immediately. I decided to set up a chart just after I found the phone. Here’s the result: Note the positions of Venus and Mercury . . . BOTH EXACTLY ON THE ASCENDANT! (Remember, the Ascendant moves once every four minutes, so any planet on the Ascendant is being spotlighted at that moment.)

Note also the Venus/Mercury/Ascendant T-cross with the volatile Mars opposition with powerful Pluto. This opposition, now beginning to lessen, started to come on-line as October began. RED October, some are calling it . . . Both Mars and Pluto, by the way, are considered rulers of Scorpio, where both Mercury and Venus sit, Venus still moving backwards, with Mercury due to go Rx on October 25th, for three weeks, will turn to go direct on November 13, ten days past the election, if it indeed it does take place on the day designated.

I saw somewhere that Trump is considering invoking the Insurrection Act, just to make sure it does! And goes without incident, and without fraud.

On the other hand, if we dare to look back over past elections, haven’t they always somehow been rigged? I have no idea, but I have always wondered how each election seems to feature an exceedingly slim margin between Republicans and Democrats, nearly 50% voting one or the other, keeping everybody sitting with bated breath as which of the two (always two, always “opposition,” i.e., conflict . . .) will “win.” 49.56% to 50.01%, or some such. It’s ridiculous, really. How could U.S. elections NOT be rigged?

Okay, there you go, Ann. Getting totally cynical. Do you really mean that?

Part of me certainly does. Another part of me “keeps hope alive.” Because, what else can I do?

Well, what I can do is live MY life, the best way I know how. And that means pay attention to MY environment — starting with my own body, as center of the universe, radiating out to home, family, neighbors, close friends, various groups, this town, this state, on and on.

I’ve long recognized that the main role I need to play as I grow older, is that of one who remains calm, centered, balanced, while radiating Love. Period. The rest is details, fluff.

When details get me down, like today, when I was strongly, but briefly, FROZEN, thinking I had actually lost my phone, I end up feeling freshly humbled, thanking the universe for all its blessings, including this particular lesson; and the hilarious astrological chart that accompanied it.

How can I not think I am divinely guided? Who is not? We live in a mysterious universe that we, all too often, see as contained somehow, framed, with nothing, nothing! beyond the frame!

HUH?

Let’s get real, folks.

Buckle down.

Enjoy the wild ride.
