Mantle decorated for Autumn

Mantle decorated for Autumn, originally uploaded by Melsky.

This is my house. I got a bunch of gourds and little pumpkins at the Farmer's market.

I have gotten new curtains that I am still in the process of putting up. They kind of don't go with my paintings that well though. Not like something like this mantelpiece full of funny little gourds and x-mas tree lights. I don't know. I'll put up a picture of them soon.

I think I feel a little down.

I just finished this today, and put it in my store:

I finished this a few days ago, but it sold already! Yay.



Not much going on, just doing a lot of walking, decorating in the house, putting up curtains, making Chicken Cattiatore. I'm not painting as much as I would like to but I'm still painting every day.

I found this leaf while walking to the library.

Me on the Erie Canal

Today we walked 4.2 miles on the Erie Canal Towpath. It was a good time, though hot for this time of year. We saw a little tiny snake on the path that slithered off when we got close. He was cute. Lots of Canada Geese were out, both in the air and on the water.

I used to love ads like this when I was little. Come to think of it, I still do.
