My Happy Toes

As the bands of clouds that forecast the coming of TS Hanna edge on it, I decide to make the most of what is left of summer.
Here in central VA (Virginia) that is a good month or more away. The first frost will come towards the end of October, and the weather will gradually cool. My pomegranates will ripen (I hope ;)) and the leaves will leave the tree. It happens a lot later than our friends to the North, and while I am enjoying the foretasting of autumn they are giving me, I am also lapping up the dregs of warm weather.



My Happy toes will stay in sandals until it is just too cold to wear them- usually around the time it is frosty ;) In the meantime, I draw them resting on a step ladder in front of me- painted toenails and all :) I will have to figure out how to make magenta paint next, because they are magenta NOT red... ;)

  2. I just came over from KathyJo's blog to thank you for that comment about the Handbook of Nature Study blog. I want to get us going with nature study & drawing, and that looks very helpful!
    I like your blog! Noticed the "kindred spirits" particularly because we watched the first episode of Anne of Green Gables last night.

    Del- I am definitely a barefoot person. Except for when it means going near places with snakes... ;)
    Ann, thanks! The storm passed through after dumping a few inches of rain on us (desperately needed anyway) and blowing a little :)
