~THE MOST PERFECT HALLOWEEN..~

I purchased this painting from a wonderful artist on ebay and when it arrived a couple of weeks ago, I was absolutely delighted! It's wonderful! She had other items for sale as the weeks have gone by..and I wanted them all..but settled for this piece! Please do click on it to see the details! It is what I always imagine Halloween to be like. Do you agree? Of course you do!! :)

Note the tiny leaf blowing on the wind toward the warm and cozy home. When you enlarge it be sure and scroll it to the left so you can see the home. The real thing is much better as my camera did not do it justice.

I am slow to heal but I really do see progress. My doctors visit today went beautifully...and he has decided to take a "wait and see" position. I am grateful for that!
I tire easily...but that is to be expected, I think. Everyday it progress and I am looking forward to a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas!
My love to all of you!
I am definitely on my way back and it is to all of you that I owe much of my attitude and gratitude!! :)

    Mona, you have been missed! I ♥ your painting! That little black kitty with the mouse cuddled up makes the picture almost come alive.

    So happy to hear that your recovery is coming along, albeit slow. Take care, my friend.

    Hi Mona,
    Yes in deed, its a wonderful painting and I can see why you adore it so. I love the farm house and the wagon full of pumpkins its so magical,the cute little mouse sitting along side the black kitty was so funny, since we all know kitties do not like mice. LOL.
    I am so happy to hear you are feeling better. That a girl, you keep that bright smile glowing and your positive attitude.
    Big hugs and Happy Halloween.
    Elizabeth

    I am so glad to hear you are progressing..yes, I know it is slow. Our age doesn't bounce back very fast but as long as we DO bounce back, we can be thankful. I am VERY thankful for your recovery and pray a full one will be not too far off.
