Today we are experiencing autumn in California. The season came up suddenly. One day it was 95, the next it was 54.
Here is a view of California's autumn by artist Eva Szorc.  I stumbled upon the image through a Google search of "California Autumn". It seemed the most fitting of the images presented.

You're certain that you're a packing peanut and not a packing cashew?

What did Tennessee?
...why, I don't know. Perhaps it was a bunny. No... but it was the same thing Arkansas. ...well then, what was it? They saw Mississippi.

I haven't posted in Word Association for some time now,
mostly because I find the ABC one more fun to play. Sorry to change the subject so radically, but I am so pleased that I remembered the name of a childrens book I read many years ago. Below The Root - by Zilpha Keatley Snyder Our small library has a copy available and I am looking forward to reading it tonight. |

Longest Wave On The Planet
Love to surf? Then you have to visit Brazil to surf the longest wave on the planet Earth called Pororoca. Between February and March Atlantic ocean tides generate waves up to 12 feet high which can last for over half an hour. Pororoca in indigenous Tupi language means \"great destructive noise\" and it destroys everything in its path with the speed of 10 to 15 miles (16 to 24 km) per hour. |

The trees are at full color here in wisconsin.
I wish I could spray them all with some sort of fixative, to enjoy the Fall show a little longer. I am fortunate to have a beautiful view of a small forest, where I sit and paint and daydream.... I can daydream for the LONGEST whiles, but i feel it is never a waste of time. |
