Going Crazy

I am going to bite the bullet and spend the next half-hour trying to upload an Autumn Image.

Yippee! It worked! This is from Uncle John's Cider Mill, St. Johns, Michigan.

This bug is making me crazy -- I really don't want anyone around me because I'm contagious, but I'm also frustrated that in all this "lovely free time" I don't have the energy to whip out the art supplies.

I did finish some things for a swap and some scarves -- straggling in the ends. I'll post those when I'm back. And I finished one very funny book ("What Would Barbra Do?" -- a most comic look at movie musicals and highly recommended for anyone who enjoys them. She can psychoanalyze Sound of Music better than anyone, I think!

Now I'm reading "A Careful Use of Compliments" (Alexander McCall Smith's newest Isobel Dalhousie novel. I hesitate to call them mysteries, though there is usually something mysterious in each one.

No cooking. Even I don't want to eat my germs.

Thanks for hanging in and please check in -- the good news is that my chest xray was OK, so it's not pneumonia, but after five days of a fever, still coughing and etc., I'm actually ready to go back to work. (Alert the media.)

I'll check in on you as soon as I can. If there aren't a lot of photos, I may be able to do it from home!

  9. Wow! I had a lot of catching up to do. It's been ages since I visited your blog. I do hope you are feeling much better now. I loved all the autumn photos. (I have fallen in love with white pumpkins.) Your stone angel photos is gorgeous! Such a strong masculine looking face - unusual in the stone angel department. That piano-playing skeleton is a hoot!
