Good Wishes for Quick Storm Recovery on Animal Wednesday

 Our hearts go out to all the people and four legged animals who have suffered from the Terrible Storm on the east coast this past weekend.

Here I am sharing the last of the animals we saw on our trip over the 8 states in this wonderful country of ours the US of A.

These horses were seen at the foot of the Grand Tetons! A most spectacular mountain range near Yellowstone National Park.

Fall color was bursting out all over in colorful abundance making our eyes dance and sing. Right timely for Halloween wouldn't you say?

Probably there are fish in the water here. Take my word for it. ;-)

A young moose enjoys some grass in this area too.

And you already know my affinity with buffalo/bison.

This past weekend we visited our 14 MONTH old grand daughter, Allie Bel, in Portland, Oregon. We brought her a stuffed buffalo from our trip. Allie was born deaf, but now wears a Cochlear implant and hears just fine. But she also signs. So I looked up and taught her the sign for buffalo. So now she can make it too, with her two little fists turned inward facing her forehead then turned outward! She is so bright!

The buffalo came in all shapes and sizes on our trip too.

Happy Animal Wednesday

and remember the

American Red Cross needs our help!

Sunshine and Fall Color! A Beautiful Day!

I haven't taken you on a walk with me

in a while...I've only taken a few myself outdoors of late.

But today the sun was shining, it was warm out, and I thoroughly enjoyed

 walking from my office to the post office, and then

 down a few side streets

 crunching in the leaves under my feet

 visiting a few houses I drew and painted last month...

 and just enjoying looking up into the sky

 and in the distance seeing colors abound

 just about everywhere!

How I appreciate fall.

The crisp air,

the change of color in the leaves,

just feeling light with a bounce in my step.

A lot to be grateful for!

In the evenings I am crocheting and knitting; making more scarves getting ready for

holiday art market sales; gift making...

being creative and having fun!

Hope you are too.
