...Getting closer...

I'm really dragging this painting out ... like a ghost story by the campfire ... step by step ... getting closer, closer...  and then .... (I have long forgotten the ghost story!  Dang!)

I bought a glass-blown pumpkin while in Kentucky.  I'll have to take a picture of it and the other cute nicknacks I have for Halloween and post them here. 

It has been COLD lately!  Frost outside and below freezing temps overnight.  The tomatos, basil, and morning glories froze and died.  I had my first fire in the fireplace today - with real wood!
