I’ve started a lot of posts in my head over the past couple of weeks. All just “meh.”
Then Acey posted a prompt …
and it was what I could do …
So I did … all the while thinking how I like my reds warm … coral, madder, rust, terracotta, brick … edible … chipotle peppers, tomato soup, pumpkin pie, peach cobbler, smoked paprika … earthy … desert sand, feldspar, autumn leaves, Oklahoma red dirt, blood … and yes, I suppose many could be considered “orange” rather than red, but red there must be at the heart of them.
And oh yeah, we did vote early …
And yes, I also stitched …
halfway through creating a king size base upon which to create story.
So yes, we do what we can. Yes we can.
Si se puede.
I'm Going to Texas (version 2.0) 
add the red square to that top you are making. remembering what we went thru. we might have to make a few more. I like the idea of a red square- now to see what I have in the Magic Attic.

I might … or I may just make a series of these nine patches as Acey’s prompts arrive and see where they all end up

Ha. Acey wrote the perfect thing for you and your red squares! Perfect 🙂 I was interested reading all of your preferred reds, sounded like new crayon colors! And the tumbling reds look so good on the corner there….falling down. When you last showed that section, I saw it as the independent blocks falling to land on the solid blocks, joining together, tetris style! Now I see the opposite, as in the solid blocks coming apart. Mmmm…
That’s a lot of voting, may it keep us hopeful. CA is voting too, not as talked about though.
Be well my friend

Texas has such a bad track record for voting that it’s fairly easy to do better than “last time” … and I’m so glad you see the coming apart/coming together of the blocks!

Hi LA – yes we do what we can. As F says there are “circles of concern and circles of control”. There are times when we can’t personally control and deal with the concerns – we do what we can. Sending our vibes for a change. B
