Magical Days

Hello everyone,

In this part of the world Autumn is in full show off mode. 

The peepers have quit peeping, and a lot of the birds have flown south, and the geese are often overhead in formation, so autumn it is. Most days are glorious, especially when a frost burns away and sunshine rules the day. 

Banks of Asters, Black-eyed Susan's and Golden Rod are currently pushing out from the roadsides and blanketing ditches.  The maples sport red and orange leaves, oaks are generally orange, and the birch leaves are a crispy brownish yellow.  So magical out there, especially this year when the rains have not washed all the beauty away.

Thank you for your kind comments on my last post. A brief update. 

I have neuropathy in feet and legs. (Only two outings this summer but more recently.) It happened because of a prescribed antibiotic. Didn’t receive any warnings from the doctor or pharmacy about the medicine. I was told it was a good drug by the doctor who prescribed it. However, another emergency doctor told me that the medicine can cause neuropathy. The odds: one in two hundred thousand. (It can do worse.) He said it will not heal, but I am hopeful. 

The moral of the story: check and re-check all meds. (The responsibility lies with moi.)

Sometimes it's a  jungle out there, so do be extra careful lovely people.

Finished the tree accordion booklet that was working on in my last post.  It's possible to work the flip side as well, so I may do that. Pines are a favourite tree of mine. They, according to the article by Jonna Saari, and other magical trees, actually release chemicals that are beneficial to humans.

(Forest lovers know the benefit. A walk in the woods always makes for a good feeling day.) 

If you wish, you can read about the benefits in Jonna's article here: Trees

 Soma from Ink Torrents Graphics recently held an Ink Fortnight small painting challenge. Soma, my multi-talented friend got me back to the drawing board with this fun two week adventure. She plans to host the event next year as well, so do check out her site to see the paintings and for more information.

From the party two of my paintings below:

                                                            

      

Had to add a photo of this wonderful book by Miranda Mills today. If you don’t know Miranda, she has a YouTube channel where she reviews books and some products.

This common place book is her second book. It's a book filled with wonderful quotes, beautiful illustrations, poems, recipes, book recommendations and more. It’s a lovely book.

              Happened upon this uplifting little 2 inch rock at a picnic table recently.

              Many thanks to the person who painted the rock and left this little gem behind.
