Yard Photos Fall 2023

 It was such a beautiful day today, one of those "magic light" days, that I had to get out and walk around the yard a little. My legs and feet wouldn't let me go very long, but I so enjoyed getting to snap a few pictures. It did me a world of good!

So I got in a bit of creativity by trying different filters on a few of the photos before labeling them. They are not necessarily in the order I took them as I walked because of the way I labeled them afterwards. I am a bit rusty with everything, I'm afraid.

I wanted to ride out to the old homeplace of my grandparents, but by the time I walked around the house I was done in. Maybe tomorrow! I haven't been out there since back in the spring, and I so miss getting to walk out there every few days. I can see and find many more treasures on foot than in the side by side with hubby driving, but I'm thankful he will drive me and wait for me to explore.

Before I went walking, I started repairing the first sculptured paper clay cage doll I made a couple of years ago. I used a hot glue gun on her cage skirt, which was a big mistake, because it didn't hold, and the skirt strips turned loose, so a while back I took them all off, repainted her blue dress white, and she's been resting. Today I cleaned all the glue I could off the wooden base and was going to try to start gluing the strips back with better glue, but hubby came in for coffee, and he's a talker, so I layed her down again for now. He's more important anyhow! :) 

I made two cage dolls, and I will have to do the same with the other doll. I'm also going to re-paint her mauve dress a soft green. (If you want to see them, click on the Santos Cage Dolls label on the sidebar.) 

Thankful to have gotten in a smidgeon of creativity in today! Hope you did too! It does a body and mind good! :)
