Happy October! My daily drawings (or as daily as I can manage) are all little moth fairies this year, to join my mushroom and flower fairies from the last few Octobers. This is a Luna Moth, paired with their favorite persimmon leaves!

Went for a little walk between bouts of rain. It's been such a weird couple of weeks – I've had family emergencies during finals the last three semesters, and this time round it's felt like my brain has just broken. I should be working on a short film about the path you all so often see in my photos and making maps for my thesis, but it's been really difficult to get started (and stay focused) on schoolwork. The only times I've felt the panic recede have been out with my camera. I'm going to really try and buckle down today; it's meant to be wet all afternoon, so maybe that'll be the thing that gets me to sit in one place for long enough to get something done.
Yesterday the persimmon still had all its leaves, but the wind came through last night and stripped it nude. These fuyu are some of the biggest I've seen; I definitely covet that person's garden.

while walking the streets of the neighborhood nearest to my apartment, I spotted a woman crouching in her front yard. she smiled and waved me over. "these are persimmons!" she showed me, "see, you don't pick them off the tree, you pick them off the ground once they're ripe." she gestured to the small, soft, orange fruits littered around her. "would you like some? here, I'll get you a sack. the ones from this tree are firmer," she rambled as she gathered handfuls of the fruit before disappearing into her home for a paper bag. as she returned she instructed me, "don't wash them, just a quick rinse will do." I thanked her profusely for her gift and she just smiled and said "no, thank you. really."
I barely got myself out of bed this morning, have been struggling for weeks with basic tasks due to my depression making an ugly return. some days I sleep for 16+ hours, just wishing the day would end. I teared up as I walked away from that woman's home with a small sack of ripe fruits. the kindness of a stranger can be so overwhelming, so healing. love is real and it is stored in the persimmons.

A Winter Salad
This salad leans into fall and winter, marrying chicories with thinly sliced persimmons and toasted hazelnuts, tossed in a sharp mustard vinaigrette. A welcome addition to any meal, this colorful, bright salad is a lovely counterpart to heavier holiday dishes.
