Fall colors, pbcc cookies and high anxiety

The leaf colors this year have been the brightest in years

And Misfits now and then reminds me of what I'm saving and how kind this is to the planet 

Some of my Misfits box went into a few peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. 

which look as if they're talking back 

And the flowers I was given, some of which I don't recognize but which might eventually become dried for the winter 

Filling both my Lenoxes.

I did a bit of painting Monday partly to cope with the high anxiety about the midterms. Chances of a blue wave are good, and chances of an orange retaliation equally so.

The box of painting supplies came out with a flourish, and as usual I used very few of them. But it's nice to have then there just in case.

I need to get back in practice, but it was a nice interlude. 

Happy day everyone, keep breathing.  We've got this, and whatever the results, much more work to do.  Let's hope for a Congress on the right side of history this time.
