Fall is Just Fine

I really wanted to get out and paint. I don't feel very well today, though. I made a couple quarts of herbal tea from lemon balm (which is antiviral), clover, red raspberry leaf, and gotu kola. It felt good to drink it. I did end up trying to do some art, though. I walked out to the pasture with Buddy, my dog and sat down with my pastels. The leaves are just beautiful and will be gone soon. I didn't push myself, just laid down some colors and sat there feeling very sleepy. I ended up on the ground with my hat over my face and Buddy sticking his nose under my hand. He took advantage of my proximity and laid with me, asking for a belly rub.
