Post-Halloween Evening Out
This is the last year of trick-or-treating for all in this picture except for Sophia. It's kind of sad. Kind of sad? Very sad.
It is the evening of the day. I sit and watch the children play. Smiling faces I can see but not for me. I sit and watch as tears go by ... wow ... life is too fleeting ...

Ordinary Low Water Mark
Years ago, while stationed in Germany, we visited Normandy often ... but not enough. This is one of my favorite Monet paintings. It hangs in the Kimbell Museum here in Ft Worth -- we were down there today for a Halloween outing.
From the Kimbell webpage:
This beautiful beach scene near Le Havre, where the artist grew up, was one of two landscapes that launched Monet’s career when exhibited in 1865 at the Paris Salon, the vast, well-attended survey of contemporary art sponsored by the French government.
