Drinking the last of summer.

The gardens are full of purple asters.

and Bees.

Searching for the last taste of summer.

Our weather in about to turn cold here.

I have noticed that the humming birds have left.

This kind of weather makes me want to spend

weeks in the studio.

Ideas are dancing through my head for art quilts.

Usually this doesn't happen until January.

Feels so good to have the muse back.

 

 



Supper time

 After supper I took my camera and went outside to

see what was happening.

The autumn joy sedums were hopping with bees.

The praying mantis thought it was a good supper.

It was a beautiful day today.

My birthday celebration continued for the week.

I brought my friend Gail back her art  from the show

and I left with a full bucket of raspberries.

Next I went to Doris's house with her paintings

and she had made me 2 ceramic plates for my birthday gift.

I went home and made a fresh raspberry pie.

Mariam stopped over for some art and left with

a nice vase plus she wants some photos for her

kitchen remodel, she brought a paint swatch with

so I can E-mail her some photos for her to choose from.

Trees or water lilies in the pond are her favorites.

All in all a good day.

Fall Feast

                           At lunch yesterday the butterflies and bees were
                           enjoying the autumn joy sedums. The dragonflies
                           moved too fast for me to photograph them.
                           Well I must load the kiln again.
                           Have a great day.
