Our summer was not that great. Lots of rain and it started late. I’m just glad we are not Flordia right now.

I awakes enjoyed fall weather but also sad as it means wintertime again.

I really am not ready for summer to end and evenings cut early by darkness.

Winters are to long here in Ohio!

It is the worse part of it! I hate it! I’ve noticed by 8:15 it’s dark now.

Even if you live where it’s warmer in the winter it’s still dark early! Really is important to get outside every day at least for a little bit.

Your water color is delightful. You patiently added detail which must have taken some time to complete.

for a day or so I notice I miss that quiet part of my life when I’m not aggravated by something else these republicans are pulling.
It’s so stressful knowing what’s going on in the world.

Painting distracts me from to much MSNBC

Thank you!

the slightest joy. I just sent one to New Zealand and the girl I sent it to was over joyed.

I sent a lot to cancer victims this year.. and that was a really good feeling. The one girl wrote me today and thanking her for making her smile. I painted her the crazy little sandpiper birds she liked to watch on the beach.

Sometimes it just feels so good to spread some kindness because there is just so so much hate!

It’s no wonder you bring so much joy to others. I know I’ve enjoyed them and look forward to your next inspiration.
