Happy Halloween! And what says Happy Halloween better than one of my all time favorite paintings of Jamie Wyeth’s (although, there are SO MANY)? This painting has drama, movement, light, COLOR and FEELING!

We were out on a walk around the block – taking our dog for “his” (leisurely) walk – so he can sniff and visit. He’s in his glory. There is no forgetting to take him, there will be many not so subtle reminders.

A vacation. I felt like we could use a vacation – we NEEDED to get away even if it was just for a short time. The results of being gone for just a few hours in a natural place full of beauty, sun, and water were amazing…
