Oklahoma Autumn

The season is providing a subtle change for a change, this year in Oklahoma. Walked to the neighborhood park and chased leaves. Breezes drift through open windows around the house, bringing in the odor of decaying summer vegetation. Filtered light recalls days gone by and foreshadow the winter to come.
Anybody still getting tomatoes?

Another Bowl

 
Looks like quite a bit but of course the Smarties and Dum Dums cancel each other out.

Current project

Paul is beginning to feel the first pangs of doubt & indecision with his creations. I can't help but feel guilty. He compares his work to published authors, recognized artists and employed craftsmen. The days of making stuff for the joy of making stuff are fading. Frustration and angxt lie ahead.
I mention this only as a backdrop to my attempts to recover childlike notions of what's "good". I may never be free of inhibitions while I work( a worthy goal in all phases of anyones life), but even in the attempt, the opportunity for discovery and growth unfold.
The kids return this afternoon and I can take a break from fretting over meaningless contemplations and get back to being "Dad" and a well meaning but struggling carpenter.
The attached photo is of an acrylic piece, tentatively named "Come Out To Play".

More Pizza

 
You weren't dreaming RW...guy in front of firing squad refusing blindfold is asked "What do you want on your tombstone?"

The Haul

 

The girls hit the neighborhood near the golf course for about an hour and hauled in about 5 pounds each. Ivy was a Black Ghost, Alaina a Vet. Just love those last minute school projects...hope it got done on time.

Lots of candy..

Hope you all had a good one! We had to run to the store and get supplies for a ping pong ball launcher project for nick that is DUE FRIDAY - we thought it was NEXT week. So we flew thru the neighborhood of a friend of mine...our neighborhood was so dead(no pun) it was kind of creepy. So Nick worked on the report part when we got back. Was thinking of the twins and wondering if they were the same hump back and hook hand as the party.
