I showed the fox/banjo video to a friend who was having a bad day, and it put a smile on her face. Thank you for sharing it!

You make me want to going on some autumn recipes! I think I'll make a batch of mushroom soup and let The Sunrise Fox be the seasoning on my kitchen playlist. Thank you for this!

No, but one can dream! I went to Ireland back in 2013 to research my mom's Irish linage and the beauty and magic I discovered there captured my heart! Also, my husband is from Caven, just south of Belfast, and has expressed longings to go back home and visit.

Currently, I'm in the midst of the editorial process of my first novel. I believe learning from professionals (like yourself) while exploring more of the Emerald Isle would be amazing! :)

Ah! I’d seen the fox whisperer video before I think and had forgotten it. Thank you! So much goodness in this collection of lovely things. And I’ve decided my mood-setting word for today is “satchel”
