here in bohemia, signs of autumn saying farewell are all around... chimneys are puffing woodsmoke softly into the wind. the bohemian's lovely ginkgo tree has lost, overnight, it's brilliant yellow leaves, which now carpet the lawn beneath.
the warm red leaves of the blueberry bush are dropping to the ground beneath, leaving scraggly branches dancing in the wind.
the sky above bohemia is a moving picture of purple clouds, brilliant sunbeams, rainbows, and blue, blue sky.
the pumpkins, tomatoes, cabbages, onions, and cukes have all been plucked from the dying vines. and the bohemian knows... winter is approaching. no, she has not put away her halloween things yet, but the "harvesty" stuff can stay for another month. she has christmasy things happening on her workspace, and the nutcracker ballet playing softly in the background. yes, she thinks, i am ready to move on...
bohemian gratitude fling: she is sooo happy for these things (only a tiny partial list, you understand!!!):
*the magic of grandbabies
*the warmth of woodfires
*the taste of coffee with honey and cream
*the variety of colors
*quiet serenity
*her faith in God
*her wonderful best friend and hubby
*the deep satisfaction of creating art
what are YOU thankful for at this time of the year?
her stamping exchange group played with paste-paper-making (glorified adult version of finger-painting, really) and then were challenged to use it in cards. this is what the bohemian did with hers. the leaves and the punched border were punched out of the paste paper that she made. her last "fall" card. with some of the leftover paste paper she punched snow flakes. she'll show you that another day. deliciously messy painty wishes to you all...
