In Between Things

 Sunday my friends, Nate, and I had a chance to head to Sauvie's Island. We picked out pumpkins, drank some hot cider and ate caramel apples. It was fun. Very fun. Sauvie's Island is about a 20 minute drive from Portland. It's a small island that has nothing but farms on it. In the summer there is lots of berry picking and in the fall it's all pumpkins, hay rides, and corn mazes :)

 In other news, Chloe had surgery to remove her tumor on Tuesday. I came down with a cold the same day, so it's been a sleepy, sick, weekend for us.

She's doing well. I most likely will hear about what stage the tumor is later today. Fingers are crossed that it's only a stage one, in which all of the cancer cells have been removed.

Between taking care of her and myself I haven't gotten much of anything done art wise these past few days. I did manage to get some painting done and I came really close to getting some sketches done!

Next week will have to be much more productive. The images for the show at Tilde are due!



Hope everyone is having a good week so far!

My Favorite Things





I'm loving this time of year and the rainy, miserable, weather we've been having today. No, I'm not being sarcastic. I've been hunkering down and getting a lot of work done. I've also been enjoying some of the things that this season brings.

The le
aves changing amazing colors, and I enjoy kicking them up with my boots.
I'm
also loving apples and grilled cheese sandwich with bacon. Curling up with Chloe under the blankets with a cup of tea. Drinking coffee, drawing, and listening to the rain hit the window pane.

I'm t
aking all of this in and loving where I live.
