If you read this blog even semi-regularly you'll know at least these two things: I suffer migraines and I love Paolo Nutini. Not especially in that order. Well I just came out of a one-week migraine that kept me prisoner in my bed for much of that week. On one of the final days I was lying there in such distress and pain that I proclaimed, "If Paolo Nutini were playing in my garden right now I would not go out. That's how bad I feel." Now on the other hand, if Paolo Nutini came to my bedside and offered me some medicinal marijuana I would probably oblige him. Keep that in mind Paolo.

Back among the living  (lots of ghouls and zombies out too),  I was rewarded with this lovely oil painting found at a  local  charity shop for 4 dollars!

Okay. Gotta go carve some Jack-o-Lanterns. Have a fun All Hallows Eve! If you're Irish or Scottish – even if you're not – place a candle in a west window to honor the dead.
To Marco Yovino, xoxo.

    Hey you’ve got an entertaining blog going here. Browsing it is like getting to go thrift shopping Ms. Sylvie (my mother’s name BTW). Thanks for the great design ideas!
    We have a phenomenon called the Free Store on Hornby Island which is basically everyone swapping their old duds, and the occasional
    amazing drop off by Summer visitors and such.

    Merci encore une fois, Visual Vamp Valorie! Ha-ha Margaret! Too cute. Scott: that’s what I said! Marc: I’m glad you’re visiting sweetie pie. How is baby Stella? Thanks for the link; and your own link too. Your work is incredible! I love your description of the Free Store here: http://www.marcroder.net/?p=187
    I’m putting the finishing touches on a web site I created for our neighborhood which is its own little enclave called Vienna Woods. It’s a Community Exchange resource site where people can offer up and ask for things, etc.
