getting in the mood...

I did these this morning...
I need to start painting...
it's so coming...
the leaves are coming down...
from the walnut trees...
the air is cooling off more at night...
it won't be long...
I just wish I was in the mood...
I need motivation...
I need a pumpkin...
a bat...
a bag of candy!...
that's it...
store run tomorrow!...
I sat on the deck this morning...
this is a piece of old ceiling tile from a building uptown...
and of course I have to shoot everything that doesn't move...
and I am looking for cast iron shelf brackets to use as feet for my old door...
I had just came back in to do an early lunch...
when Terri called and said she was on her way over...
and we made a coffee filter rose...
my very first!...
there will be many more...
and then the mail came...
a pretty little lavender envelope...
there was this inside...
flower seeds for a beautiful lavender poppy that Bella from Bellas Rose Cottage was sharing with the first 10 to respond...
FREE!...
she even put a little picture of them on the front so I will remember what they are!...
and this is the back...
and it is so full of little black seeds...
Thank you so much, Bella!

the grasshopper has a name...


Craig came up with Jean...
and I came up with Pierre...
so, he is henceforth known as "Jean Pierre"...
pronounced John Pierre...
(he has to be french to match the chicken, Henri)...
and...
this is the best part...
so he can go "Oui, oui" in the flowers...

Shadow Shot Sunday...

Good Sunday Morning...
ok, maybe afternoon...
I actually slept in today...
so I'm really running behind getting this up...
but I have been saving photos all week for you...
shadows are one of my favorite things...
I hope you enjoy these...
we had plenty of sunshine this time...
I even played around with my old hand puppet skills and managed to come up with the old bunny...


Blessings and Hugs,
