Ah, November...


November definitely has special memories for me.

*My birthday month

*A November wedding in 1971

*The birth of a son in 1978

*Thanksgiving holidays

So thankful we have had a true fall this year with mild and lovely days. 


Pennee sent me the three turkey pails, and I added the pumpkins to them.
What a cute gift!!!


This Thanksgiving will be quite different without the usual family gathering, but we will count our blessings and pray for our children, grandchildren, and friends. May all stay safe and well.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

A Mixture of Feelings

 From August until November I have experienced great joy, heartache, relief, and hope. Lauren's pregnancy has been a source of happiness and stress. With complications discovered through ultrasounds and tests she and Justin are bravely facing unknown symptoms. Their little girl is due in late March and is already dearly loved. Although at times emotionally upsetting we know it's all in God's hands and are praying for the best outcome.


Art Notes

These India ink drawings are from decades ago. I am still taking part in the alphabet challenge on Instagram. I is for India ink. I have always liked the stark simplicity of black ink on white paper, but these white pages have faded over the years. 





This is a new canvas.


 

This new month has given us some beautiful autumn days. Corkey and I are enjoying the simple pleasures of sitting in our backyard swing, watching the birds, and seeing the leaves drift to the ground.
