Fall Is Here (with a vengeance)
I haven’t posted in a few days, mostly because nothing too interesting has gone on. I’ve made “a little” progress on my giraffe, but my usual influx of customers and allotment of gallery jobs is keeping me busy. Since today is Sunday I was hoping to finish the painting today.
On the other hand, I had my art group over yesterday and so I am a day behind on framing and getting my orders out. I think I may just work this afternoon like any other day, (except with fewer hours and a whole lot more PS2 playing.)
It was great getting together with my art group again. We are all women with rather complicated lives, so this was only our second meeting this year. I brought my camera to take a photo and forgot to actually take the picture. (Picture me whacking head on wall. Heavy sigh) Perhaps next time.
Of course I did remember to photograph the horses in fog this morning. (typical mona behavior) Top photo is Chicory and the one below is my neighbors. Now isn’t this a photo just begging to be painted or what? You know, I think I just might.
The seasons, they are a changin’
This is my favorite time of year. I like bundling up in warm clothes and walking in the crisp air, enjoying the changing colors. I particularly love the wonderful aroma of burning leaves, (though not so much the raking of them.)
The past few mornings have been very foggy. I’ve had to scrape off a thick layer of frost (if I didn’t know better, I would have said it was ice) from my windshield. I’m pretty sure this is nature’s not so subtle hint, that winter is just around the corner.
So to celebrate the glory that is Fall, we are cooking our first turkey of the year. To be accompanied by homegrown potatos, corn, beans and tomato cucumber salad. I know the turkey is just about done when all the barn cats are sitting outside on the window sills of the house, looking in.
Your celebration meal sounds absolutely wonderful Mona! Enjoy! : )
I love fall, also, except for what’s around the corner. Your meal sounds lovely, and I also hope you enjoy it! Angela
Yup, definitely begging to be painted that one! I can hear it from all the way over here in (not so) sunny England! It was actually really warm like summer just over a week ago, and now it’s cold and wet brrrrr!
Mmmm, you’re making me jealous with your meal!
Hello to all, Dinner was yummy and it was almost as good tonight as leftovers. I didn’t make it in to work on my painting and tomorrows post will explain. I’m gonna finish that giraffe this week yet, by golly.
