Firmly Planted in October (October 9 - 13)

So, October marches onward!

Pat shares a couple of paintings:

I have a couple of completely supurilous paintings that are finding their way to Pat's house:

A husky that seems to live on my dining room table:

A high wire act:

Lucious appetizers:

A sketch of a boy that is playing with a truck... love that hat! :

Kelly's September 30 2017 weekend

...and the beat goes on...

Pat sent me a card and a painting for my birthday:

Pat explores the Chihuly Museum in Seattle

This is a "double wide" :    Pat opened up a card and used both sides, he wrote the letter on the outside!

Mail from Pat!

Yeah! Pat and I are back at it!  I got two cards in the mail today, they really cheered me up!  One was an ode to Alexa, they other paintings from his trip to Alaska on the giant cruise ship.

Tomatoes and carrots on the back of the card:

A tulip on the front of the card:

Various Shoes and Slippers on the envelope:

Inside cover of the card:  spoons with spices:
