Autumn Break

Today’s post is a break for you from my normal bloviations about art.

Something red caught my eye on my commute* out to the studio last week.(Feel free to get a pumpkin spice something to accompany these photo.)

And this, which looks like a symbol of wildfire to me:

Meanwhile, Pippin has been very delinquent, refusing to come into the garages at night, running around like an unruly hooligan. This makes him very tired during the day.

Tucker has had a campout or two, but likes to wait outside my studio for me to finish work.

Two out of three, always two out of three. Jackson is hiding somewhere. When he appears, one of the others will go away. 

We all sleep better when there are three cats safely locked up in the outbuildings.

But wait! There’s more! Why are these August flowers still blooming in October? (Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth).

It was still raining ash and the light was still orange last week when I took these photos. 

P.S. Happy Birthday, Blog Reader Anne!

*50 yard walk? 100 yards? how about 35 seconds?

  1. “Commute?” Yeah, right! (Do two positives make a negative?)

    And what Anonymous said–Happy Birthday to Blog Writer Jana! You may try your hardest, but you will never catch up with me, bwa-ha-ha!

    • Well, my goodness, Sharon, I thank you! It was a lovely day.

  2. Happy birthday to someone else too.

    • Ahem. Thank you.

  3. Thank you for the birthday shout out! I am celebrating starting my 66th year surrounded by pumpkins, a reminder of my friends far and near! Are these the golden years? I sure don’t feel like I’m 66….until I accidentally look down at my phone when someone calls me on FaceTime…..ahhhhh.

    I’m working today, which is fine. It lowers the expectations of something grand happening…… ha!

    I am so thankful that you and Michael fared well through the fires. One of the things on my bucket list (for when we can travel) is to visit Mineral King. Of course I will let you know- and hope we can share a cup of coffee together in person!!!!

    • Anne, I know what you mean- I look in the mirror and see a 12 year old with eye bags and jowls!
