Monday Post

Hi Everybody!

I hope you had a great weekend, and wish us all a good week. Today was cold and windy, but I went out with a friend for a meal and then we walked to the Rhine, which was cold and grey to match the weather! 

Today I have a piece to share for Alison's  autumn colours challenge at AJJ.

And a little bit of spooky has crept into it:

And I have a last tag for my seasons challenge at Tag Tuesday


Some thinkies and funnies etc:









Have a great day, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

  4. Fabulous tag and spooky journal page, love all the Autumn colours -like the sound of a senior GPS too not that I drive but could tell me why I have gone up the stairs and what I am looking for and maybe where did I put my glasses lol. Sounds like you are feeling better too.

  5. That's a great page and tag.
    I enjoyed seeing the squirrels... there are three who like to visit the garden and I enjoy watching them.

    Wishing you a good week ahead.

    All the best Jan

  7. I always enjoy visiting your blog. Your artwork is beautiful and interesting and the quotes and sayings are insightful and or funny!! For some reason the cottage in the fall scene really touched me today.

    1. Thanks Judee. When I see images like that, I often imagine that I'm walking around inside and that's fun!

  8. I am very glad to hear, of course, that you were out eating with a friend, and then even made a perambulation down to the river. Even on a cool, gloomy day a good walk is therapeutic. The third of the three squirrel pictures is very appealing. The oaks around here have had a good mast year and every squirrel for miles around is busy gathering acorns. It’s fun to watch them go about their business. It’s Thanksgiving here, but since we have no family close, it will be a normal day for a Miriam and me. We will eat well, as we always do, but nothing special for the holiday. We have made squash soup a couple of times and have more squash in the counter. It’s really delicious. We buy from a local Mennonite farm and they also make excellent sauerkraut. Two nights ago we had Oktoberfest sausage and sauerkraut. We would have fit right in where you live, Valerie. Say hello to Heike for me. Hugs and kisses - David

  12. All the variations on autumn colors in your art works here are lovely. Only a few trees here have become dramatically colored, but there’s lots to look at.

  13. I love the autumn leaves on your first project and that tag is just over-the-top gorgeous! So glad you got to dine out with a friend and walk to enjoy the outdoors. It's windy and turning colder here today as well so the seasons are changing quickly! Have a great week ahead!

  18. I love your autumnal page Valerie, and the fact that you have added the spooky figures in makes it all the more fun to see. The colours you have used are strong and autumnal and I love the bold blue background. The leaves, berries and all the natural autumnal things look so fabulous against it.
    Hope life is treating you well.
    Hugs, Neet xx
