yay for Monday? Really? I feel like my head is stuffed with cotton, so am not too bright at the moment. (Not sick, just like I'm not awake.) Did the usual Monday with bills & stuff but now can't face anything challenging. Hope you know what I mean. Chris, looking forward to video of the band...

We did get out birding in beautiful weather but once the Brown's football game started, DH wanted to listen on the car radio. We came home at half time and he's watching but it's going to be yet another loss. Saw a nice variety of migrants but not many water birds along the lake. I was just...

Not raining, chilly and blustery today. Good day to be indoors. Tomorrow should be sunny and a little warmer and we plan to do some birding to enjoy it while we can. Chris, sorry about numbers. They are my thing but that doesn't always help either. Creating your faery goodies sounds pretty...

You've captured the feeling so well in this beautiful page. The sun treatment is super.

Afternoon, all. Rainy here and DH did storm doors and windows today, so we're resigned to no more warm I guess. Yesterday was nice working with two ladies on genealogy things and some research of my own. Now we're so looking forward to the World Series starting on Tuesday! Chris, hope you...

Cooler here today but sunny and still nice, so no complaints. Have some errands to do and get some stuff together to meet with two genealogists tomorrow for different projects they're doing. This afternoon we hope the Indians can rebound and win the series. Chris, I'm sure you're having a...

Today DH is taking car in for a squeaky noise. May be brakes. Hope nothing serious. Car is only 4 years old. (We only have the one.) We are very happy the Indians won the third baseball game!! Too bad we're down to 2 starting pitchers. Chris, hope a shower helped. Stupid using 2 bags by...

Great group of photos, especially using the corn on diagonal. Blue makes a wonderful background.

It has turned into a lovely, warm afternoon here! Incredibly nice for Oct. 17. I am very happy to have completed a drawing as it's been over two months. Now for good baseball in Toronto tonight. (Sorry, Trudy, cheering for the USA team.) Chris, I'm sure Trudy is right that they won't care at...

We like to call the big hay bales "buffalo" but these photos by my DH of hay bales are quite near a preserve where there are many American bison (the "correct" name of our buffalo.) Credits: AnnaLift of '2016Oct2 newbie' by nancyr...

Wonderful fall page with hints that Halloween is coming. Love the blending of the mask with elements and brushes.

Usual quiet Sunday for us today. Not sure what I'll get done but will make dinner and eat watching the night football game. Wish it were baseball, but that's on cable which we don't have. Oh, I didn't pay much attention, but our hockey team won two games this weekend. They're the Cleveland...

What rich, gorgeous piece. Great celebration of fall colors.

So beautiful! The shapes and colors just stand out together. You made it amazing!

Absolutely stunning! Beautiful scene looks like an Impressionist painting awaiting an audience.

Chris, many thanks! I can't believe this.
