Day 12...

Day 12 and I am even short a post or two because I started late and I am at a loss for words. Kind of a quiet day. Dragged my farm table back in because the weather is changing. It grew too cold to work on it any further and a storm is coming up the coast, I think they are calling it a Northeaster. I don't mind, a good excuse to hunker down and be cozy and just be.

I began a painting today. I was excited to get painting. There just never is time or I am looking for a place in my house to physically put my self to do so. I no sooner began and a family member decided her emergency, in her way of thinking, was more important...Have you seen the movie "Who Does She Think She Is?" Take a peak at the trailer.

I belong to a small group that meets at my church for the purpose of looking at creativity, art and faith. We have worked through some books over the past year or more, beginning with The Artist Way. Now we are working through the book Creativity and Divine Surprise. But the most important thing we do is encourage on another. Tonight we decided to begin a program that was found on a web site called Prayerwindows. We will work it independently then share what we discover and anything we do in the way of art making weekly. I'll let you know...

This is Amy. She is a 13" Beagle. I usually show Maggie on here just because that is how it happens. Amy is getting on in years I guess is the polite way to say it. She is 13 plus years and pretty feisty compared to the meek little thing she used to be...and begging was something she left up to Maggie to do but now her begging skills are up there with the best of them. These days she misses breakfast and sleeps in and most of the day really. I just thought I'd introduce her.


Thanks for reading. Peace.

Peaceful Wednesday

Maggie waking from a nap. My dogs are either laying in front of this door or in front of the woodstove. They cook...

Not much to say today. It has been a busy day with errands this afternoon and attending a small group I belong to this evening. I just remembered my blog. Oh well new habits take a while to sink in. Today I noticed a one azalea flower had bloomed on my plant in the front yard. Was kind of taken with it seeing as it's November. As you can see the leaves are turning yellow and brown but there is a flower.


Then I looked up and saw this.

She never fails to cause me to smile.

I did manage to cast on and start sleeve number two. There comes a point when a project is no longer enjoyable, but that one just wants it finished. And of course it is on me for that to happen. So it will probably stay where it is with all it's charts and yarn and pattern pages...on the table, where it will taunt me to finish it quickly. One can only hope.


This was the scene as I walked to my car tonight after Passages.
I don't think it came out as I saw it, but the moon had a pink haze on on side and there was a tree and the lit steeple...guess you had to be there, but it was striking.


Have a good night and thanks for reading.
Peace...
