Share 4 Somethings in October
Tomorrow is the last Saturday of the month and time for the Share 4 Somethings link up with Jennifer.
Once again we'll be sharing some things we've loved and/or disliked, accomplished, some things we've improved upon and/or that need improvement, and noticed.
Loved: We have been having the most beautiful sunrises lately!
Accomplished: I finished my latest painting and got almost all (40!) of my Christmas cards finished.
Improved upon/needs improvement: I really need to go through my closet and clean out those fall and winter clothes that I no longer wear or like how they fit but I just have not found the energy to do that yet.
Noticed: We can't help but notice everywhere we hike that we are experiencing a major drought this year. To give you an idea here is the same river; one photo taken in Nov. 2021 and one taken this month...
Those sunrises are so pretty! As is your painting and that neat Christmas card- very creative! We experienced a drought this fall as well. I hope you guys get rain soon. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHope y'all get some rain soon. Those are quite the comparison photos. I love the butterfly painting! The evening and morning skies are always favorites of mine too. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you! We often go through small drought and then high water periods but I don't remember it ever getting quite this dry.
DeleteBeautiful photos! Ask yourself, would I still buy this today and would I care if it got ruined in the wash and there is your answer. Allow yourself a bit of purgatory and put the bags somewhere for a set period.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good way to make decisions; I do tend to bag them up and then leave them out of sight for at least a few weeks to see if I end up searching for any of those things I bagged. Lately I've been making note of things like pants that feel tight after a long day or shirts that feel like they keep riding up and driving me crazy; knowing I could get rid of them without a care.
DeleteSo in love with these pics of nature! Your finished art is beautiful too!

Thank you so much!
DeleteYES! The sunrises have been stunning- love your pics!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteBeautiful sunrises! I also love the painting you did, along with that cute card. ♡
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you so much!
DeleteBeautiful photography!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThe draught is crazy! I remember last fall there was so much rain.
ReplyDeleteI know; it's starting to feel like an all or nothing type situation.
DeleteBeautiful pictures of the sunrise! I always say October skies are some of the best. We have not done as much hiking this month as most trails are still unsafe or challenging to get through with trees down from Helene. Still such a mess in the mountain towns near us. You are on top of things with your cards!! Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteThey really are so pretty this time of year.
DeleteSo beautiful.

Thank you!
DeleteThe sunsets have been amazing here too, my youngest has been taking a photo each morning as they have been so pretty. What beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteWell done with your painting, it is gorgeous! I love the colours that you have used and your cards look fab too.
Thank you so much! I had a bit of a struggle getting the background to look like I had intended but I am really pleased with the finished product.
DeleteWow! Those sunrises are incredible! Living the pink ones especially! So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWhat a beautiful painting. I would never get tired of those lake views! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteWhat a lovely idea for a link-up! It's wonderful to hear that you're enjoying beautiful sunrises—there's something so uplifting about them. Cleaning out your closet can be a big task, but it sounds like a great way to refresh for the season. The drought sounds concerning, though; it's always eye-opening to see the changes in nature over time. Thanks for sharing your experiences! Happy weekend. I hope it's a happy one for you. I’ve just posted something new, and I'd love to hear what you think. Please give it a read! https://www.melodyjacob.com/2024/10/the-social-media-trap-of-judging-relationships-by-one-sided-narratives.html
