If you would've told me that I'd go three months between posts, then I wouldn't have believed you.  Yet here we are.  And I have nothing to say for myself except life -- and Instagram -- got in the way.  But I'm here now with some fall fits.  Autumn and I haven't always gotten along, but I'm willing to work on us if she is.

The same can be said for this blog.  Because it's cathartic to write in more than captions -- and to connect with all of you.  So until next time -- which may be next week or next month or next year -- keep on keeping on and I'll do the same. 🌈🍁😁

You'd think that after all these years, I'd be over my country kitsch schtick.  That I'd get real with myself and say, face it, Tracy, you're a Jersey girl.  But aside from the occasional impulse to set up my tripod at a nearby abandoned gas station, I'm uninspired by my suburban surroundings.  So instead, I put on one of my many pairs of cowboy boots and imagine that my yard is a speck in a stretch of wide, open spaces.  Delusional?  Sure.  But it's probably wise.

Intriguing or not, that gas station seems suspect.

Chances are, you got snowed in last weekend.  As you (may) know, I don't like snow.  It's cold and wet and, above all, dangerous.  So when the flakes fell, I was happy to stay inside and (while Charlotte napped) play dress-up.  The theme?  Maroon!  Because 1) I'd worn a maroon dress for my birthday and wanted to do a trifecta and 2) maroon makes an ideal backdrop for my new necklaces.

Being marooned in maroon was a bonus.

That said, I hope you stayed cozy doing something you love -- even if the only ice in your life was clinking in your Coca-Cola.
