Captain America's New Gig

Goodbye, Captain America.

Hello, Captain Hydra.

My condolences to all Democrats today.

It's All Up To You, Americans

The S Word, Goofy Wine Labels, and Female Gazes

The S Word

Edmonton awoke to its first snowfall this weekend. Here's a photo taken from my balcony. And so another six months of winter begins . . . . 

Goofy Wine Labels

Saw these labels on zero alcohol wine at my grocery store this week. They tickled my legal funny bone.

Female Gazes

Went to an interesting art exhibit of paintings by women of women.

These four were my favourites --

Vanessa Carrigall

Beneath the Sunlit Surface

Susan MacEachran

Invisible but not finished

Justina Smith

Natalia with Zinnias

Antonia Parker

Lady in gold

Thursday Art Date with Rain -- "Pumpkin Patch"

Here's my contribution to today's art prompt at

Rain Frances Creations: Food, Art, Home and Garden --

I did this "line and wash" ink and watercolours sketch

of pumpkins and gourds a couple of weeks ago

for an art class I'm currently taking.

And here's my fave pumpkins from this year's

jack-o-lantern decoration contest 

done by tenants in my apartment tower

(slacker that I am, I didn't enter a pumpkin) --

A rather stressed-out Minion

A cute wee Pumpkin House,

complete with inhabitants and furniture.

Love the pie cooling on the windowsill!

An awesome carving of a

beloved family pet

Lookin' good, Frankie!

Here's my personal favourite

(and the contest's winner):

The Stanley Pumpkin! 

Its sign says:

OILERS 2025

Play La Bamba, Baby!

And as today is October 31st,

HRH the Cat and I want to wish all of you --

Miscellany of the Macabre

Here's a few fun DIY ideas!

Instructions for ghost tapers -- Soak candles in warm water (not boiling water) for 10 - 15 minutes and then carefully bend them under the water. Dry them and draw faces with a permanent marker or paint marker. Ready to display!
