Fall is my favorite time of year to go to the beach.

 

My dark Shadow

 I feel that my dark shadow which has been with me since my sister died, is going away. Grief is a slow and personal time. It comes and goes without my control. But, lately I feel lighter, more joyful, and happier. My back is stronger, I am walking with confidence and there is a bounce in my walk now. 

I am learning water color painting, continuing  with my art journal, and still blogging to myself. 

Fall has arrived, the feather comforter is on the  bed and I have started switching my Hawaiian shirts and shorts to fleece jackets and layers.

I go into this new years a different person, a person more confident and alive. Judy has asked me to start living again by ringing my outside bell and I am going forward. Miss you Judy.

Fall Arrives With Rain

e

 First day of Fall and the weather is cooler, rainier, and windier.

The change of season is never good news to my body. Changes cause pain in hands, back and attitude.

I finished my first watercolor that I liked. Free style. Cooked lentil vegetable soup last night. It had no tomatoes in it. I had harisa for some tomato flavor, and it also spiced up the soup.

Today Lee had a surprise birthday brunch. Bagels, and Donuts. How could you go wrong. Zoey was the door greater. 

Glenn thinks its time I have a neighborhood party. Maybe for Halloween.

I am back taking walks. Feels so good.

  Nothing is better than spending time out in nature. This Fall has been very dry, but very wonderful. Great weather for walking, hanging out on the deck, and reading outside.
