"Men are that they might have joy". Here are some things that make me happy.First: Autumn and pumpkins.
Pretty flower and foliage arrangements.
I have been playing beautiful arrangments of ' Jesus, once of Humble Birth', and 'Jesus the very Thought of Thee', from a book that Jordon's mom Brenda gave me for Christmas.
One of Chey's drawings from an art lesson about space and perspective.
Some of Kota's practice "thumbnail sketches". They do one 4inch square drawing a day. Kota is always looking at something and saying "I should draw that!"
Cheyenne has been doing well, but I think Kota is most enthusiastic. Here is his art folder, with a baggie full of every different kind of pen and pencil he could find, a sharpener, and plenty of paperclips and erasers.
Here is one of my own drawings of some pears. It's not done yet. I still have to add speckles to the pears, and polish the whole thing up a bit. And I'm trying to decide if I should add color, or leave it black and white. Any opinions? 
Speaking of pears, here are the baked pears that I made for breakfast today. I was quite proud of them. I peeled them, and cut them in half and pitted them. Then I covered the tops with a layer of butter, being sure to put a little blob in the pit, and covered them in brown sugar and cinnamon. Then I baked them for about 13 minutes at 350 degrees.
I loved them, and ate three (or one and a half).

the pears look yummy! i have been on a peach thing, and had to go to the store to get more, thank goodness they were on sell too!
how fun that you are teaching the family some art lessons!
I did two thumbnail sketches last night! I'm glad that I am being forced to stretch myself and draw. Perhaps I'll get a bit better.
The pears are yummy. They remind me of apple pie.
