A Week Versatile, Hello November
This will be a picture for a composite to paint from.
Learning how to paint open water is a dream of mine.
Welcome November!
November is the month my poetry heart loves most, moody, mysterious, windy and a cold that rushes right through the soul.
I will not be posting an audio version of my reciting Poe's poem, "The Raven." I did a couple tries, and trust me, they are horrible, and deleted. I just couldn't get Vincent Price out of my mind. He does the best Poe voice ever. Instead, I will post a reading from a myth or something I write based on a true story.
On the 2nd holiday vibe Monday, I almost forgot I'm going with that attitude. I had such a lazy time of it last week, there is catch up to do. I'm feeling better, (shots done for the year), depression lifting enough for me to sneak out from under it, and allergies no longer bringing me sinus discomfort. This week has a versatile agenda on the home front. Being busy will be a change from October's quietness.
How is the view of your November?
P.S. In the good news slot, I think I've found a good bar stool for my easel area. I like to stand when I paint. A stool gives me a place to rest and think. Chairs are too low.
Tip: Using Google Voice, you can call yourself to find your cell phone.
I got out my firefighter chili recipe this morning from the World Kitchen cookbook, too. Thinking alike.
ReplyDeleteLiz,
ReplyDeleteThe temperatures here are going into overnight thirties. I expect a first frost this week. Chili time!
Chilli is a favourite here. We like black beans in it too.
ReplyDeleteMarie,
ReplyDeleteBlack beans are easier to digest than kidney beans. I don't know why that is though.
Your river walk is a pleasure to read. Your pictures are beautiful!
November s my stressful month. There's prepping for the art sale, the sale (and being with a lot of people which can be a challenge for this introvert), Thanksgiving which I love and somehow is always challenging, crappy weather, and getting Christmas overseas and mailing pulled together. I lke your idea f the stool. I have to get busy.
ReplyDeleteYummy black bean chili ~ great that you found an artist stool ~ creative photos ~
ReplyDeleteWishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

A nice bowl of chili sounds good to me right now. I like how you add different things to it, zucchini and such. It's perfect for this cold weather we are having. I'm glad you found a bar stool that suits you for your painting. I enjoy your photos too! Such talent runs through those fingers of yours haha.

Jeanie,
ReplyDeleteThe fun of the holidays is the joy it brings through all the busy hectic things that must be done. Your holidays sound full of happiness. Wishing you great sales!
Carol,
ReplyDeleteCraigslist is a good resource if you have the time to be patient and stick to a budget. I saw a chair I absolutely love that I actually considered traveling the 2 hours to buy. Instead, I chose the practical one I was looking for.
Sheri,
ReplyDeleteA bar stool must have a back to it and a simple design to be comfortable for me. I was lucky to find a perfect one. A drafting stool on wheels is the idea, but too expensive for my budget. A new seat in the door means the old backless stool I have goes to the thrift shop.
