Dear friends and family,
The November issue of CATALYST is here! Click on that lovely owl above left.
I bought 45 lbs. of Green Zebra tomatoes from Cali's Market last week ~ it was an impulse purchase, they were so beautiful, so seductive ~ and now I am roasting them. Considering the boiler went out (what old houses have instead of furnaces), it's a wise move: I can use the oven warmth, what with this temperature plunge. I'd been lulled into believing in the Never-Ending Autumn. But once the basil freezes, which it did this morning, there's no return. Welcome, Winter!

Several astral signatures converge this week, and daily life here on Earth reflects the obvious as well as the subtle shifts in the sky. You'll need your super multitasking powers to manage the many diverse detours daily life is apt to take. Also be prepared for more than a few surprising developments to throw a monkey wrench into otherwise stable routines. But it's likely to be the time distortions that are hardest to handle.
