FROST ON THE BBQ....

When I woke up, I knew I had to get my camera.

Beautiful morning view from our patio. Can you see the cat?

What is this, you might ask....?

This is water in a greasy pan in the sink just before I got into washing...  I thought the oil on the surface was kinda beautiful, so I snapped a shot.

Incredible Sunset over Wappingers Creek.

I know you are not supposed to take pictures

while driving....  I should have stopped, I would 

have gotten a better shot.  Should have!!!  But

at least I got this blurry one.  It was over by

the time I got to where I could stop.

Two sleepy kitties.

Photo Charlotte took with her phone and printed to submit to art competition at school.

LOVE

Bed time

What a cute sleepy kitty.

Beautiful Rainbow in an Ominous Sky

I was just leaving the Hannaford Grocery Store parking lot and saw this amazing rainbow... so I had to stop and get out my phone to post it to my blog!  I feel so... CURRENT!

Wind Storm Last Night

There was so much wind last night... it was a huge LEAF STORM...

There was steam rising from the trunk of the tree! Click on this picture you might be able to see it...

...Like it was breathing...

I just like adding pictures.

I used to like to write... Now I don't feel like writing as much because I can never express it right anyway. I'm learning from Charlotte how to stay quiet.

In and out... repeat.

Looks like one of your old drawings, Mom...

I can't be expected to get any work done today... Right?

I am sitting out on the patio.... There is NO wind... The Hudson River is like glass. It is so sunny and I did a little gardening. But now I got my iPad and I'm out here blogging! Fun, even though I have no idea who my audience is... Which is a little odd... Odd to have any audience since I'm used to just writing in journals by hand, but never publishing them for others to read.

Long shadows but warm day.

Today is a Perfect Hudson Valley Day!

You can see the boats in the Marina next to our house.

Cat in lap on last beautiful day of the season probably.
Look at the LOVE in his eyes!

The leaves aren't all down off the trees yet...

Here are the last flowers in our garden.  A very hearty rose bush hanging on to the bitter end.  I bet the bees appreciate that.  You can see not all the leaves are down yet... but close.  A bone-chilling, wet cold is in the air and the wind is whipping off the river.

Tomorrow is Mom's birthday!  I sent her some neat earrings that were made by Chilean economically challenged craftspeople as part of that Fair Trade thing that I found at "Women's Work" store.  I like that store.

It's sleeting outside....

Looking out on a dreary day.

More fall colors from last week.

Another view of the fall colors

while I was walking the other day.

I sent this from my phone!

You can see how beautiful the leaves were in the nice weather a few days ago.  This is Wappingers Creek seen from the bridge where I walk in the mornings.  Hard to believe how nice it was...

Rainy Day

I remember when I was really little, my mom would let me play with her typewriter on days that were really rainy.  I came to love rainy days because it meant popcorn and typewriter...  gives me a warm feeling.  Today is a very windy and rainy day...  I am writing on this computer keyboard this new rainy day. ...wondering what I will do today.  I should paint something because it has been so long.  That would be a really good idea.  Then I could post it here.  I think I will make a painting from one of the pictures I took on the boat.
