The Last Burst Of Warmth

Happy Friday!


Expecting the last burst of autumnal 'warm up" this weekend. A couple extra days to finish those last minute outdoor projects/buttoning down before the cold settles in to stay.  Going to heel in my spent Mums for rejuvenation next year. Clear out the remainer of spent foliage and snug in a few more Spring bulbs. Found some blue Muscari that are going to be perfect scattered around the rocks outside the "Frog Spa" when it reopens next year.

Finished Jo Nesbo's latest novel Phantom.  Nesbo being a huge find this year, for me. Excellent crime detective drama. Fully engaging. Writer of The Snowman and The Leopard...once again we follow his detective Harry throughout Oslo this time through the Norwegian drug trade and political scandals. A hard-to-put-down book.  An enthusiastically recommended read.

Getting my ducks in a row for Lennon's 24th birthday soon...the upcoming Thanksgiving and an early Christmas with all of the boys before he has to return to Tampa.  For everyone who is losing their minds because Christmas is 46 days away...I feel your pain...lol...mine is roughly 21 days away! Got it under control. No worries.

 For the first time EVER going to decorate for Christmas before Deceember 1st.

Reminiscent of Pollack's Number 28...creativity continues with a blank canvas and the leftover acrylics (from this year's acrylic experimentation) and my first ever abstract attempt.  Photos soon. I am calling it "Leftover Tubes"  

~laughing~

  Inspired by Idgy!

And have a huge slab of damp red clay...can't wait to see what is hiding inside!


Have a wonderful and creative weekend!

love (and lots of coffee)
