October 2024

• Header is an Inglewood evergreen (well named) trio from Tuesday 01 October.

• I'm still adding some of my art and design favorites to this page.

• Urban Wilderness / City Paradise for October

• Sunday 06 October, Saint Francis Day, concluded the formal Season of Creation. I worshiped at Christ the King in Torrance that has a huge labyrinth in the worship area.

• This collage by google AI showcases both interior and exterior. They use different templates than the ones we can use, and generally choose great arrangement of pictures, though sometimes what parts of the pictures display is a bit funky.

• After worship I facilitated a season of creation art workshop.

• Monday 07 October, Chrysanthemum breakfast bouquet

• My first ever trip to IKEA LA (in Carson, not far from Cal State Dominguez Hills), where I bought a few fun things.

• That same Monday evening, 07 October

Home is the place where when you have to go there,
they have to take you in
(and a cup of Americone Dream Ice Cream).

• First picture is the actual ice cream I enjoyed

• Google AI made this ice cream collage. They use different templates than what's available to us. I love the angles and surprises on this! Of the dozens I've collected from my google photos, this layout is unique.

• Saturday 12 October – A wonderful Journaling and Prayer workshop at Christ the King. Joelle, the facilitator, helped immensely with my journaling roadblocks. Having a single focus (prayer, gardening, sightseeing, travel, etc.) is a good idea. And she has a twice monthly substack newsletter!

• Friday 18 October – Donuts and Celestial Seasonings Berry Tea

• Sunday 27 October – West Los Angeles for Reformation Day Worship, farewell to Pastor Peg, and an alfresco potluck. I actually forget to take pictures of the brunch and dessert tables, but happily realized the sun would have been too bright.

• But I captured the Autumn Centerpiece at our table!

• Thursday 31 October Halloween / All Hallows and actual Reformation Day

• I have enough pictures this month so I didn't make new ones for Halloween or Reformation.
