Punkin Love

I love the holidays because it gives me reason and motivation to be crafty. I love to make things and paint. Here is a pumpkin I painted this year. It turned out pretty good.

My feet are still painful, tonight I am going to go walking regardless. I feel incomplete without getting out at night. The wind has a chill to it that is new to the neighborhood, the asphalt has a different texture at this temperature. People have down jackets and Carhartts on, it makes me giggle that they think this weather is cold enough for such artillery. My boys were cuddly last night, they seemed sad as though they understood that I couldn't take them for a walk. It used to be for them I could see they were upset when we wouldn't go. Now we're a team, one and all. Being faithful team mates they cuddled with me on the couch as we watched yet another episode of some design show on HGTV, their eyes say to me, "It's ok, we understand momma". Sometimes when they look at me with that understanding and deep love and appreciation in their eyes, it makes me swell up inside. My Cup Runneth Over...
