Fall color is a lot harder to find down south compared to what I’m used to. I’ve happily found the most fall color close to the lake. . . . . . #fallriver #fallphoto #fallcolors🍁🍂 #fallcolors🍁 #naturegirl #naturewalk #naturewalksunday #naturewalkwonders #lakeeufaula #lakeeufaula #alabamafall #eufaula #eufaulaalabama #lakelifeisthebestlife (at Lake Eufaula) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVtUM29l42K/?utm_medium=tumblr

Every thing is green she says. Look how green it all is. How can you say the things you say you feel like when every thing outside is green like it is. The window over the sink of my kitchenet is cleaned off from the hard rain last night, and it is a morning with sun, it is still early, and there is a mess of green out. The trees are green and some grass out past the speed bumps is green and slicked down. But every thing is not green. The other trailers are not green, and my card table out with puddles in lines and beer cans and butts floating in the ash trays is not green, or my truck, or the gravel of the lot, or the big wheel toy that is on its side under a clothes line without no clothes on it by the next trailer, where the guy has got him some kids. Every thing is green she is saying. She is whispering it and the whisper is not to me no more I know.

This upcycled sweater has been hand dyed with an ombré design with the amazing pink dye produced from avocado skins. This light knit boho top’s hem hits right over the hips with two fun pockets and a visible metal zipper at the back of the neck.
