I agree with you about the energetic feeling the cool-crisp mornings of Autumn bring. Somehow I feel so motivated this time of year! <br /><br />ZBoy's room is looking great!! I love your colors.

Z and I sat at the computer and found pictures of the animals he wanted. I can copy okay (not great, but at least you'll recognize the gray blob as a raccoon) but the actual painting of the animals has me a little freaked. This is not something I am good at. My husband has volunteered to paint with me - my husband the artist - which is fine, I suppose, but I'm sure his painting will just shine the light on how bad mine is. I am reluctant to let him do it, since they should be uniformly good or uniformly bad. Z is artistic like his dad, but unfamiliar with the medium, so we're on more even ground!Sayrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350593991157139017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-78702194705823562442009-10-05T11:50:02.820-05:002009-10-05T11:50:02.820-05:00I love the wall paintings!

Indeed I have been there twice in summer and it's so hot and humid there. <br />For me the hardest thing is that the days become shorter and shorter, last year I bought a color lamp which is a light therapy and gives you sunshine in a room. That's really nice. In the UK they are not spoiled either with the dark and humid weather in fall ! It's not far from here I can be in London in not even two hours.Gattinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636525277807715146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-44813250418476011102009-10-05T08:03:55.677-05:002009-10-05T08:03:55.677-05:00Illinois in August, if you're outside, there i...Illinois in August, if you're outside, there is no breath, and you have to wait to sweat, but it's worth it. No going outside for just a second, go on out and let yourself get soaked in the 100 degree, 100% humidity, then the air conditioning will really feel good. Sigh. I'm jealous of the painting skills going on there. Not sure we'll ever tackle something like that, but I love what you're doing!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474928571871603804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-7951020129653638502009-10-05T07:46:55.925-05:002009-10-05T07:46:55.925-05:00I feel your pain Sayre..We lived in Orlando Fl. f...I feel your pain Sayre..We lived in Orlando Fl. for 6 years. I could never get a real sense of fall like I do here in the North east. With you being on the panhandle, I think you do get cooler temps then Orlando and do have more color. Zboys room is really looking good...you are so artistic girl!!!Jan n Jerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01511769102935583608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-19160137620230188892009-10-05T07:32:54.647-05:002009-10-05T07:32:54.647-05:00What a great room the Boy is going to have,Sayre. ...What a great room the Boy is going to have,Sayre. And how lucky for you he chose a forest instead of a racetrack or something worse. I'm with you on appreciating the increased energy that comes with fall. Actually working on some projects myself since the main concern doesn't have to be sitting still enough to not drown in my own sweat. I lived in Clearwater for a year and just couldn't get a sense that the seasons changed at all. That's one reason I only made it that one year. Being where you are in the state am sure there's a bit more fall-winter weather to appreciate.Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227397761350236459noreply@blogger.com
