Fall

Pros of fall...

Scarves. tons of them. In bright colors and big sloppy knots.

Colors of leafs. red, orange yellow and brown. They remind me of an Afghan my g-ma made in the 70's It was beautiful.

Crisp cool air. I love living on the Puget sound. I'm a big fan of cool climates.

The light. The sun is lower in the sky and it shimmers through the trees. As an artist It's pure inspiration.

Pea Coats. I love coats and boots.

School. The boys are back in it and I have to admit it's blissful.

Harvesting. Home grown food is the best thing in the world. Yeah i'm a hippy. so what?

Halloween. My favorite holiday. I'm looking forward to throwing an actual Halloween party for the first time this year.

Bugs. They are everywhere right now all wanting their pictures taken.

Coziness. Time for blankets and cuddling.



Cons of Fall...


Slugs. they are everywhere. Little slimy road kill all over. They are fine in small doses but nasty in masses.

Colds. They are the worst part of going back to school. If i don't have one now check back tomorrow.

Mud. Dirty dog feet are a bummer.

Lock down. Putting my patio furniture away and watching my plants die back is enough to bring me to tears.

Alarm clocks. If you like yours you are crazy.

Heaters. They stink and dry out my sinuses. I miss the warmth
of sun already.

Winter. Knowing that it's right around the corner.

Flip flops. See you next year. I will miss you more than you know!

Cleaning. Closing all windows and doors make it feel dirty. I can't seem to get it clean enough lately.

Socks. I have never been a fan of socks. I'm not sure why.



Here a few of my recent photos. Fall related.
