An old, purple witch

Maybe this fits the halloween vibe or something but I don't really believe in or celebrate halloween so here is this post. I remember reading a story when I was younger about a nice old witch and the vibe and storyline came to me today AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT'S CALLED. I don't even know if it's in the house anymore. Here are all the facts I remember:
- lives in cottage alone
- wears a purple dress and has gray hair and wears a witch hat
- she made a stew I think
- mixed up a spell and turned the grass blue and the sky green
- she and the animals fixed the spell
- this was in a children's book I read when I was younger
- short story and hardcover and the pages were the glossy kind and had a certain smell to them
- and the background and colors were watercolor-like and very appealing to the eyes
- the witch also had a broom
- she was a nice witch

Best October🍂🍃

 I'm drinking in all of this glorious weather like a parched man in a vast desert whose finally reached a spring of water. I know this weather is probably a fluke and won't happen again- it's too good to be true- so I'm savoring so much of it before the warm breezes, pink-purple sunrises, and blazing leaves all begin to disintegrate. Octobers are the best and this one is the best of all. I wish it could stay like this forever. This morning especially has been my favorite. I've been walking most mornings just so I can behold the beauty of it all. I just wanted to stand still on top of that hill and stay there.

TODAY💜

Yes. Today was a Yes. Gosh I went on two bike rides today and went to the library. Just enjoying this time. Gosh there's so much beauty today. The breeze reminds me of this verse in Genesis: When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the Lord God walking about in the garden (3:8). And I think that's why October is one of my favorite months and why it's so calming for me. It's a gentle  and quiet month. It rained last night and the leaves are falling, so full of color. The clouds are...... oh my. The trees are my favorite thing I think. Mine are still green and I love them so... just wow God's beauty is here today. It's so comforting. Just most recently for the past few weeks I've considered the Garden of Eden and Eden in general and what God intended with us and that feeling of intimacy with Him in that garden. And I'm longing for that garden now. I want that garden now. I want to be in that garden and I don't want to leave. Fully enveloped in intimacy and being with God. The amount of love that most have been in that garden. Full of love. Surrounded with his pure love.
