it's been awhile and life has moved on...school's begun for some in my family...autumn leaves are falling...the art studio evolves into a new look, refreshed but still embracing the old charm of the 100+ years it's been here. i am fortunate to be a part of helping to create this space and am ever grateful for the people who have helped bring it this far...of late, the doors, block windows and new finish to the sheet-rocked walls add a really wonderful touch along with the trim around all the doors & windows--lovely with their hemlock frames! soon, i'll be able to move my art supplies, easel, tables & shelves into the space and set up...to create & see what evolves! i can hardly wait-- this has been awhile coming and it's shaped up so wonderfully with just a few final things yet to do...otherwise, leaves are being raked & music is playing--and changing with the seasons. at this house, often, holiday music begins before the neighbors might...but i've always thought that if i don't begin early, time moves so quickly, i'll miss the whole experience and i love the process! college apps are being filled out with an 18th birthday soon here--amazing that the years have flown from a scary start...to now! what a delight to be a part of all the adventures of life--who knows what's next? i've had the opportunity to go away--to visit family in california, helping move from one house to another and watch the home unfold in the new locale...go off in other directions to visit, help & spend time with family and friends who live afar...i am honored to be included~
for this season which is upon us, i give thanks...while i love the season of thanksgiving and all it includes, i think, often, of how grateful i am each day--for the little moments, the big surprises, the challenges & the joys...for all of this & more, i am grateful~
