Oh weekend, where did you go? I spent a lot of theweekend working on the new site design. I think I'm done. Until I open the files today, I'm sure and see 10 things I want to change again. Can we never be satisfied, lady?! (sigh) But I think you're going to like it. I hope I hope.

The chill of fall is here and I've been content getting reacquainted with sweaters I'd forgotten I had. All the neighbors were raking their leaves this weekend and it smelled so good. The little girl, Maggie, next door was jumping in them and laughing her head off. I love that sound. We took the more lazy approach to the leaves and just buzzed through them with the lawn mower.

This weekend I also found myself at the library. I got lost in the art books for a couple of hours. Looking at paintings from Picasso's blue period. Studying the abstract splatters of DeKooning and Pollack. Picking up El Greco books and wondering if the thing about the cataracts is true. It was nice. I ended up getting some books on Japanese pattern design and mexican votive paintings (my new love). I always learn new things when I pick up these books.

Time to start the week. Good morning, world.
