Halloween time..

Its grey,cold and wet in Seattle. However the vibrant fall colors on the trees and the orange in the pumpkin fields give me a warm glow. Its almost time for Halloween and my son's excitement is infectious. He is ready to march out in his costume and claim his treasure! The abundance of candy in my house after a night of trick or treat has quite an effect on my waistline :-) I love these gorgeous fall arrangements. I wish I too could fill my house with these orange,gold and brown hues. For now I can sit back and enjoy the view...

My Buddha

My brass Buddha head looked radiant on Diwali night with all the diyas around. I love the calm and serene expression and like to think that he watches over my home!

Diwali memories...

Images from my parents home in Gurgaon.

How I miss being in India and my parents home for Diwali. Diwali was always so special at home. Numerous parties, shopping, lights ,rangoli, new clothes and gift from parents! It was definately action packed. My mom cooked a lot of yummy food and the mithai supply was endless. Having my grandmother with us was an added bonus. I was the pampered daughter of the house who fussed about what clothes to wear :-) My part in the festivities was to decorate the house with lights and diyas. I loved to do all of that. I have very fond memories of all the Diwali's growing up at home.
