This morning’s dahlias in my garden. So beautiful this late in the summer. And I love how they seem to evolve & change colors day-by-day as they age & open larger! A nice “crop” this summer… hoping I have a couple more months before the big freeze comes to kill ‘em off!!!

10×10 Challenge: More than ten thrown before 10:00am.
Playing with terra cotta today… I’ve got a plan & a “ghoulish” deadline!!!

Humid & warm as I headed out the door this morning. Not much in the way of clouds… just a dense layer hanging low on the horizon.

The first of many falling soon… but not too soon I hope!

Well, when I turned around & started riding home this morning, I was surprised to see a layer of damp fog hanging low over the golf course. See?… so it wasn’t just me. Here’s the humidity… making another crazy-cool sunrise moment along the lakefront this morning.

Another beautiful morning along the lakefront, although the humidity seems to have returned. I was kinda surprised when the sweat kicked-in… it’s been awhile since we’ve had such a humid morning?! Don’t care… I’m a great sweat-er!!! Just another part of my morning ritual.

Another morning with a good amount of clouds… but not such a good amount of color? I thought we might get a nice splash of color this morning… but instead, the sun popped out for a brief moment and then hid behind the clouds for the rest of my ride!

My latest pumpkin patch is coming along nicely… after a couple hours in the studio “pumpkintizing” my smooth spheres. Grooves, warts, stems & leaves! All getting ready for ART IN THE BARN in a couple weeks!!!

After another fun trip to the Farmer’s Market, I’m so glad I picked up a large bouquet of dahlias from Vangie’s Farm. Their flowers are just AMAZING…with such great colors, textures & dimensions. A fantastic collection of farm-fresh flowers… a custom-made collection of flowers just for me. Good thing I “just happen” to have a few extra vases around the place to put them in!!!

We wanted to be in the room where it happened! So we did… and we saw the “big screen” version of HAMILTON at the theater tonight. So much fun with my sister Jen & cousin Kim who had never seen it before… and we ate plenty of POPCORN !!!
