I Like Thursday # 474 leaves, skellies, paintings, and a plate of cookies

 

Dying to see you again!! LOL  welcome to this week's list of likes 

starting with some more neighborhood  Halloween displays

how about this purple to blue sparkly BIG spider... a la Harry Potter! 

the "web" goes over the whole front yard! 

there is a decoration contest in another nearby neighborhood, and I have a lot of pics but I'll save some for next week. Meanwhile I saw some interesting things on our walks

ahem, a bench eaten by the earth, or for really short people? for dogs? for tired spiders? 

a suburban scene, "killed by yardwork"    

I love the look of these plants, fuzzy brown (for the rainbow scrap challenge focus color this month) 

click on that pic to see more texture, wouldn't that be a challenge to paint? 

hard to resist these

warm from the oven, oatmeal, pecan, choco chip cookies.... (recipe from Gasparilla cookbook)

clever doggie costume, altho it might give a dog nightmares!

such a cute kitty, or "paw-fessor McGonagle"

Quilting love, sewing those finished hexies together this week

finished pics on Saturday's creativity round up post

painting love, Jessica Swift free workshop all week

my shadow holding a leaf on the ground... just for fun...

 I really learned a lot about creating a more defined waist hides a tummy,   here

I love our tree in the sun, the highlights colors shadows, texture of the brown trunk

Conversation starter this week: 

do you still rake fallen leaves or just use a blower to clear them?

(personally I HATE the sound of a leaf blower, so I rake and dh bags them)  

actually I find it soothing to rake leaves, order out of chaos, clean grass left behind, repetitive movements, sounds of crisp leaves.  

this vista was stunning on our morning walk, yellow, green, pumpkin color, pink and maroon all on one tree........ I need to paint this fallen twig/leaves. What a graceful shape, right?
