A SUMMER TO REMEMBER

...it was a long hot dry summer...

...and then it was gone...

just like that...with a storm unequaled so early in the season...

...the wind peeled the bark right off the trees...

...i'm not fond of the heat but i'm sorry to see summer go...

...we did get a lot accomplished this year...

...stumps were taken out ...a chimney was removed and the roof patched...

...and the new deck just needs a coat of paint which will go on in the next couple of weeks...

...the room that is becoming my office...so i can get all the computer stuff out of the living room...should be complete by christmas...

 

...so now it's time to concentrate on the next week...an art show coming up over the weekend...

...and two days later my daughter and i are leaving for Hawaii on vacation...and a wedding...

...there has been a lot to process this year and of course there will be more...after i get back...like a tree removal before anymore wind storms...maybe a couple of art showings or  sales in October and November...and of course the holidays...

 

...when i come home with new projects waiting lined up in my now tidy studio...and a new year fast approaching...all the thinking i did during the lazy days when it was to hot to do much else will result in some decisions...

...and...AT THE END OF THE DAY...as fall and winter approach...i'll be ready for a new direction...and whatever it brings...
