Happy Birthday today December 7th
End of the Seasonal Sightings:
'The quiet transition from autumn to winter is not a bad time at all. It's nice to store up your warmth and your thoughts and burrow yourself into a deep hole inside, a core of safety where you can defend what is important and precious and your very own.'
Tove Jansson
One of the reasons I do an 'end' to seasonal sightings is that's it a good way to say goodbye to Autumn, or whatever season happens to be ending. A last look at the male form surrounded by the sites and colors of the season. End of the seasonal sightings is also a way for me to 'close out' my Autumn file. I have a folder with sub folders for each of the four seasons, and I like to start fresh each year. In part, it's because I like to find new and unique images, and also, some images which grab my attention one year, don't hold the same appeal with the next years comes around.
I love all four seasons, but I think I have a preference for fall and winter. I many, I love cozy nights and brief stints of hibernation, but the cool and cold weather also energizes me. Living on the East coast, the summers can get incredibly muggy, zapping my energy when outside. Although I love the sun, I tend to shorten my walks and runs, and head to shade when it gets especially hot and muggy.
The start of every season is like a new beginning, like having four additional January 1st. I know many love living in Southern climates, where it's warm all year round, but I love life changes that season changes bring. Like so many of you, I have four different wardrobes, hats and footwear for almost every possible winter condition. Winter boots, rubber boots, hiking books and sneakers with treads for whatever I'm walking on.
More than the temperature changes, what I love most are the visual changes. From my living room, the view outside changes from month to month. It's never the same for long. It's like changing a room's paint color or artwork several times a year, without having to spend a penny.
I think I'm more impacted by visual change, or the lack of, than other people. It's not just the images on FH that I strive to follow the seasons. I change my table cloth, a couple of cushion covers to match seasonal colors. I even annoyingly switch many of the pictures on my walls, several times a year, to match the holidays and seasons.

These Are The Best Days Of Our Lives
In addition to the beautiful bangs hanging down face of model Shayne Davis, Vanderpump Rules has hired four other model and actor hopefuls to wait and bartend at SUR. Two, (Jason and Chris) already had OnlyFans sites before the show began, all, are seeking fame, at least for their fifteen minutes.
I have to keep reminding myself that reality shows always bring disappointment. There isn't one reality star who I once liked, that I end up disliking after a couple of seasons. I remember loving Captain Sandy during season one of Below Deck Mediterranean, thinking how great it was she pushed through the male dominated industry to become a captain. By season 2, although I still respected her as a captain, I thought she was one of the worst leaders and supervisors I'd ever seen.
The same goes for almost every crew member, housewife and house husband in the Bravo universe. The possible exception might be Guerdy's husband Russell on The Real Housewives of Miami. I haven't watched the last few years though, so that may have changed...
I remember when I first started watching Vanderpump Rules. It was probably in about 2018. I went back and binged the seasons I missed. I loved me some Tom, Tom and Jax, especially the fun they had and all the butt baring scenes. It didn't take long to see they were all idiots. Now James, I disliked from the start, but with the original three, it took a season or two to stop enjoying watching them be idiots, to being totally annoyed by it.
The only member of the original cast I still sort of like is Katie. Even Ariana annoys me. I know she got the lions share of support after Tom cheated on her, but it didn't change my opinion. Of course I was on her side, but by the time she and Tom broke up, she'd already gone 'Hollywood' and wasn't the cool, independent bisexual woman we were first introduced to.
Although I've only watched the first episode, I think my favorite is Venus. The guys are all good looking, but Venus stands out. Not just because he's gay, but because he's unique. He also has a ethereal beauty and quality. We'll see how I feel by the New Year...
