Running behind Monday

Am I packed no, am I ready no, but I will be by 10:15 AM in the morning when the limo is picking me up to transport me and my baggage to the airport for my flight to Colorado.  Dog is taken care of, mail & newspapers are taken care of.  Have you noticed I am blogging a check list today.  Now I really do need to get packing.  I must admit tho that after I visited my honey today and dropped the dog off at my daughter's, I did stop at Kohl's and did a little trip shopping.  They were having great sales with an extra 15% off entire purchase.  I saved the same amount as I spent.  Anyway, I bought some new jeans, new tops so I will be stylin' while I'm there.  I just love all the nice feminine touches the designers are adding to simple knit tops....a little lace, a little ruffle all sweet additions.  Thank goodness we have moved beyond the grunges. 

Not much time to blog tonight, gotta get movin' but I did want to add one photo to Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday.  I took this on my way home today.  The softness of the dried corn against that lovely sky is my addition.  I used 2 textures, Scripted Autumn with 3 layers; 1 layer at soft light, 2nd layer at linear burn, and a 3rd at linear burn.  Added a layer of Robins Egg in soft light.  Really like it.  I also adjusted the hue to give the sky a lighter blue. 

The theme is grateful....I am grateful for the farmers that raise crops for sustenance....the changing of the seasons, the skies so blue, eyes that see, and my love of photograhy that led me to this beautiful image.
