Three Amigos Sep 23, 2013

As the colors of Fall creep into the Vermont hills, the sunflowers of September bow deep and low.

I invaded the neighbor’s garden on Saturday to catch these three hearty characters.

Speaking of hearty Vermont characters, my neighbor Chris has an amazing green thumb.

There are many good neighbors in Vermont. I’m grateful to have one of them.

      Thanks for all your support Christine. I hope to attend one of your Chaffee painting sessions one of these Wed nights. It sounds like good fun.

    It takes one to know one. We’re so lucky to live in this wonderful little neighborhood.
    I like the tiny splashes of blue/gray that you added. Another hit!

      Thank you very much Sue. It was a bit windy that day so I tried to add some organic movement with the brush strokes. And yes, plenty of happiness too!
