Let us be grateful...

I love November! I feel more alive with the Autumn chill..

Lately, I have taken to wandering, exploring the local trails and parks

To close out the holiday weekend(and the month of November), I plan to abandon a scarf that I crocheted..

On Friday, Nov 23rd, I will place this scarf in a safe spot frequented by lots of people (shopping mall or park)..It will be wrapped and tagged, identifying it as a free abandoned piece of art..This is the group I joined
Flood the Street with Art VI

I want to do this post and random act of kindness /art abandonment in honor of a dear artist friend/pen pal who very recently lost her father..

I like the excitement of getting ready for the winter holidays...I LOVE spending time with my family near and far..We celebrate our blessings and the fact that we have each other in our lives..We also remember our loved ones who are not able to be with us...
