November

Can't believe that this month is almost over.My Birthday month.And it is going to be Christmas soon!Where did this year go?The time flies so fast!These pictures were taken three years ago in November,2009.It feels like it was yesterday.I like the beautiful yellow and red colors and the metal blue of the river. That's why I would like to share them with you.

Giving thanks

I enjoy my little Thanksgiving vacation very much.How about you?For me it is time to slow dawn and spend precious time with my family.I think it is a special Holiday because it makes us think about the most important things in our lives.What am I grateful for in my life?I am grateful for the health and well being of my family and my own,as well;for their love and happiness; for the sunshine and the extraordinary warm fall this year,for my friends;for the farm folks who work hard in the fields so we can put food on our Thanksgiving table;for the people who helped us to stand on our feet after the flood 5 years ago,for our pets who bring so much joy in our lives...I can go on with the list but let me stop here and say: God bless all the good people/and animals/that bring so much light in our lives!

A quiet weekend at home.When it gets cold it is time to slow down.And it feels good.Just making home made pizza for my daughter's sleepover,watching the guinea pigs play,watching TV and reading blogs.And dreaming about a new camera!I hope soon!This illustration of mine was completed in the summer.Ink pen and watercolor pencils.
