No one promised me a rose garden so I planted one myself. They were all chosen for their scent because a rose should smell like a rose. The pink rose bush was a gift from my younger daughter and it is very prolific. I have had many a bouquet from it. The yellow one starts out a deep orange and turns into sunlight in colour.

This is a rather seedy area of Athens but central to everything.
We spent the month of October in Greece a few years ago. It was about this time, in that month of October, that we went to the Island of Crete. Of course Crete is a treasure trove of history, as is all of Greece. But in Crete we have the spectacular ruins of Knossos, which are in the process of restoration.
This is a 8″ x 10″ water colour on sketching paper done in 2018. I was working in the garden today and took out all the old growth and harvested the tomatoes. I found a plant of jalapeno peppers. It was a good year for the garden.
It is Thanksgiving and we’ve had our fill of turkey. The weather is so mild one must go out and do some out door chores.
It’s our Thanksgiving this weekend and as we gather with our loved ones we appreciate our many blessings.

This song was a collaboration with the lyrics by that great American poet Harris Tobias and the music by swo8. Just a little reminder that love doesn’t always go right…..
It’s autumn now but it still feels like summer. So I’m dreaming of Latin Nights….
