CRAZY-COOL CLOUDS this morning!!! With plenty of clouds covering the morning sky, I knew were bound for some colorful fun as I head out early on my bike. And I wasn’t disappointed… until it all came to an end as the sun disappeared back into the gray clouds for the rest of the morning.

Some beautiful autumn clouds this morning… and so many variations as the sun worked it way out. Lots of colors, lots of drama… and very cool “finish” as the sun aligned with the lighthouse at Hollywood Beach as it finally peeked over the horizon.

Tonight in my pottery class, we kinda celebrated NATIONAL PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE DAY. Well, it wasn’t actually “cheesecake” but… Christine made these amazing gingersnap cookies with a yummy pumpkin fluff “frosting!” Tasted pretty close to cheesecake… so I’ll call it a day! Thanks Christine!!!!

Another warm morning to start the day… surprisingly warm!
Today was amazing… it felt almost like summer again! And I’m here for it!!!

There were just a couple “survivors” still hanging in there…
now in their own tiny little vase!

Okay… I think they’re dead?! HA!!!

Sure, despite popular opinion… not “every” meal is OREOs.
Sometimes something green sneaks in!
Not my first choice, but everything tastes better in handmade pottery!!!

Early morning sunrise with complementary colors… orange & blue.

One color to the next… “Good morning color, you look great today!”

With some much-welcomed sun streaming through, I was enamored by these little pink berries I had never noticed before?! I believe the plant is an invasive vine/bush called “Spindle”???… at least according to my phone’s plant app!!! Still cute though!

One of my stamped & soda-fired totem poles down in Central Illinois getting ready for Fall. Plants are withering & leaves are starting to turn & fall… love seeing this through the seasons!
