Adjusting to the shorter days means dealing with longer nights.
How would I feel if it is dark at 4 PM?
Not good, clear answer.
A neat website, thesenioradvisor.com, has a few nice tips to help folks to adjust to the days of less light.

How are you on this good November day?
Are you into Christmas decorations yet?
Planning for Thanksgiving?
Over the years the beauty of gathering in friendship was disrupted in favor of truth history aka there is no Santa mentality.
The pilgrims and natives didn’t have such a feast, and don’t have that friendly neighbors history to share. Today it is all about stolen land.
The truth is that Thanksgiving, based on accuracy or not, is a holiday to celebrate peace and gathering in friendship. Today. That belongs to Today, our hearts today.
There has to be a time when myths are revealed as story telling, that what has evolved over the negativity, be honored.
Thanksgiving is a day of thankfulness that should be celebrated as such by all.
Have a peacefull weekend
The answer is yes. According to scientific studies, Earth’s axis has shifted by 31.5 degrees due to human extraction of ground water.

The ambient temperatures this week are what I expect in early October, that second summer. Methinks people need the warmer weather as they did for the stunning foliage colors this fall.

Thinking about the direction of blog subjects to post about, I realize that I don’t read as many interior design blogs as I use to. When I question myself why, the answer is ads and Instagram. Many lovely blogs monetized to the point the intrusion of ads in your face made reading the blog very uncomfortable.
Ads need to be tasteful and placed with respect for the audience. Not all design blogs are ad messy.
A blog that moves their activity to another platform doesn’t always carry readers along that journey.
Blogging is about what and where. What style of blog you want to be and where is the website best for your goals. By far, Blogger aka Blogspot is the easier and most user friendly blog host that I’ve seen, and used as well.
Now that I’m painting again with the goal of selling my art, the idea of my own website is on the story board.
Or. I can stay here and list my art online elsewhere, Etsy, Ebay, without a website. That is the easiest, most practical and cheapest way to go.

The day began well, joyful even. Puttering didn’t. I spent too much time on the Internet and watching Youtube.
Here it is early evening without my daily artwork done. I have a sketch in mind. I will do that, but not in time to post as I planned. I’m lousy on keeping challenges going. So, I’ll do the best I can. It’s only day 2. I’m not counting in Sundays.
Thus, today’s art post is a photograph of milkweed seeds that I took today.
