Play with Your Pumpkins is one of my favorite design books. Thanks Joost Elfgers, Saxton Freymann and Johannes van Dam!

My favorite poster at the No Kings March just now—

lovely Irises, just have to keep away from the house to avoid violet smudges—

If only our Summer could last 6 months, like Winter did last year!

So, this week : instead of the regular group of hungry birds, there are 30?? Are they migrating already?

Nice surprise: the birds have planted sunflowers this summer.

This was taken at a favorite park, in Cottonwood: Dead Horse Ranch State Park. Perfect for hiking, dog- walking and water birds watching. #addBirder

Took a vacation from everything, and found that a cruise can be seriously relaxing. Back home now, ahhh…here’s to Summer !

Woodpeckers are everywhere, so loud!

These days it feels like we’re in a lifeboat looking for a safe place to come ashore. I painted this before the worst President ever was re- elected.

Still thinking about David Lynch, so smart but he smoked 🚬 and passed away last month. Was really looking forward to another original tv series like Twin Peaks. This is a favorite quote: “Keep your eye on the donut and not the hole”

The sunrises have been lovely this month, then we get more clouds and snow!

A lovely start to the day!

Luckily we’ve enjoyed a beautiful Fall, can get outside and forget the Election for a while—
