Thursday Art & Dinner Date! ... Trains

 TRAINS

I only have one train for you today in an older piece of artwork .  I am back doing another project and my Christmas card, so I am finding it hard to spend time perusing my files for trains, though I know I have pictures of freight trains with graphics painted on the side.  Maybe another time.  Things are busy around here.  My son and his wife are preparing to go to Thailand for the winter and I am going to be the adult in the room for my Granddaughter who, though she is very responsible and independent, she also has a boyfriend now, so ... well, need I say more :) So it has been cold and gray ... very winter like (sadly).  I was hoping we would see a nice Indian Summer, but it doesn't seem to be in the cards.  Hope you all are having some final days of fall ... then dress warmly and stay well.

Thursday Art and Dinner Date ... Cold and Rainy

Cold and Rainy

This years Jack O' Lanterns

Can you guess which one is mine?

Here's a hint ...

(My Granddaughter and her boyfriend) 

Cold and Rainy can have it's advantages :)

Sadly it was Cold and Rainy at our Arboretum's annual Pumpkin Patch ...

A little Digital Art ...

  

         It snowed and was freezing on Halloween here.  I don't believe I have seen that happen in all my years.  At any rate, we were left with a lot of candy because we didn't get even one trick or treater.  So my sweet tooth is getting a treat, but my diet is not.  Hope you all had a Happier Halloween :)

Thursday Art & Dinner Date ... Halloween Decorations

Halloween Decorations 

 

I didn't have time to go through my files so I took pictures of decorations I saw when I was out and about.  The last picture of the skeletons is my favorite :)  It has been cold and rainy here all week ... I await a nice warm Indian Summer then the plunge into gray days and cold weather and hopefully some snow.   Stay well, my friends ...

Thursday Art & Dinner Date ... Fictional Monsters

 Fictional Monsters

 

New Art

Is Nessy fictional or not?  I don't think that question has been answered yet, but until someone gets proof of the existence of the Loch Ness Monster, I will treat it as fictional :)

Old Art 

I think "Alien" was the scariest movie I have ever watched.  Not that other's weren't scary, but somehow "Alien" has stayed with me though it has been years since I watched it.  I don't think I would want to watch it again 😕

Our weather has turned cool and sometimes cold, but the leaves are turning and the beautiful colors make up for the miserable weather.

Feeling distressed about yet another war starting ... We are going through difficult times.  I hope our future has some bright sunshiny moment in it :)  Stay well everyone ...

Thursday Art & Dinner Date ... In the Laboratory

In the Laboratory

 

Microbiology was a required course in Nursing and what I remember most about it was how stunned I was to discover how beautiful and colorful microorganisms are.

We are experiencing an uptick in Covid in the US ... thankfully the CDC is on it and a new vaccine has been made available.  Have you gone for your flu shot and covid vaccine?  And an RSV vaccine is also being provided for young children and older (over 65) adults.  Hope you are all well and all immunized for what is to come over the winter :)
