We were in Williamsburg, VA in the Fall--and these pumpkins took my eye. It was MarketDay Saturday and they were piled in front of the Christmas Shop. It's the closest watercolor sketch that I have with a "Thanksgiving" time of the year theme. Maybe next time, I'll do a pic of my Pumpkin Pie (with whipped cream, of course).

The birds are really surrounding our Bird Feeders this Fall. We regularly see Cardinals, Tufted Titmouse (a picture taken by my husband), Chickadees, Red-Bellied Woodpeckers, Red-breasted and regular Nuthatches. Also, Blue Jays, Hairy and Downy Woodpeckers, and the usual HouseFinches, and some sparrows. If I forgot any--I'm sorry :-)
I love feeding the birds and seeing them fattening up for Winter.

I can't believe it was 55 years ago--my Firstborn (s) were twins. We hit the jackpot the first time--having a boy AND a girl. Twice the blessing! Just want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY RON AND RUTH. (And they still are a BLESSING!)
