We’re finally starting to have autumn like weather here this week. The high is only going to be in the 60s and low 70s, and that makes my little heart go pitter patter. YES!! My favorite kind of weather. That will make the pollen go down, and maybe, just maybe, for the first time in many many months, I’ll start to get some relief from outdoor allergies. I might be able to breathe through my nose again, stop having migraines, put the neti pot, and nose sprays away for a couple months. A girl can hope.

 

I can’t believe a branch of leaves on the tree outside my studio window have turned bright yellow. Usually leaves around here just turn brown, die, and fall off the trees during a good wind storm (which we’re about to have today..storms are coming). ‘Tis disheartening, coming from the northeast as I do, where the fall foliage is spectacular with all the bold colors. I’ll take a bright yellow branch of leaves, thanks!

 

 

 

I take my coffee black, so I haven’t tried this, but did you know you can make your own pumpkin spice lattes at home? I know so many people who go running to Star Bucks at the first sign of fall to get pumpkin coffee. I mean lattes, of course. lol I can only guess it’s so much cheaper to make your own. I might have to try this, minus the almond milk because I’m allergic to almonds..but, it might be tasty, no? I have no idea, really. Never had one, but since the weather is changing, I’m starting to crave fall food.

 

 

I’m up early this morning. Had another horrible nightmare, woke up at 4am, and now it’s 6am, and I can’t/won’t go back to sleep. It’s gonna be a looooong day. Sweet Pea is also up, and racing and running around. omg..she is out of control this morning. She ran into the wall so hard (she’s blind..born without eyes, in case you didn’t know), I could hear her head making contact from the next room. Bam! Ow! Don’t worry, she’s okay, and it didn’t slow her down any. lol She’s a crazy fast kitty today.

 

 

 

 

 

I’m off to get a very early start in the studio. Finished up a large painting last night. Yay! Photos later.
