Quiet

This is a nice quiet morning. A chance to reflect. When the sun comes up and hits the nature cabinet, it is so sweet. Maybe I'll have a chance to read or finish this painting which is currently on the easel.

Whew...Another Thanksgiving done!

I hope Thanksgiving is going well for everyone. We are done as you can see from the leftovers in the fridge. We had a fun day cooking and following the New York Times Diner's Journal Live Thanksgiving Blog written by Kim Severson. It felt like being part of a big, funny family....not that our own family isn't big and funny already. Now we will take our bloated bellies and park them in front of the TV to watch movies.

Bare Trees

I love bare tree branches. This time of year the trees show their elegance as they shed their leaves. It's a gray day here but foggy, which makes everything feel intimate and relaxed. I like this kind of day because it lets me off the hook for having to accomplish things. The last two shots are of recent purchases. This book is so funny...all spam quotes this author received on her email. And I just can't bring myself to unwrap these beautifully packaged things from a cool store in Peterboro, New Hampshire called Red Chair.
