Blast off! I’m excited to share my next Hello, World! book with you. Although it’s not out yet, it is available for pre-order. Drawing rockets & machines is fun but it’s even more satisfying to learn about what these cool contraptions can do! We’ll cover rockets, rovers, space shuttles and much more. 🚀

Have you picked a pumpkin?
So, here we are one week into October & now it feels appropriate to share a little more about my latest Hello, World! board book From Seed to Pumpkin.
We went to the apple orchard (Red Barn Orchard in Weston Mo.) two weeks ago. We've gone each year since my son was 3. (He's 17 now!) This time was our hottest trip yet with a temp of 95 degrees. Apple doughnuts didn't sound as good this year in the heat. That said the pumpkins looked great in the bright, hot sun. These ones with long stems caught my eye.

Fall flower fun
I find making patterns so relaxing & fun. This one is a crescendo of spicy fall color & shape.
With no hard frost yet, I'm happy to report the flowers are still going strong!

Types of apples
I painted a few of my favorite kinds of apples. Pink Lady apples are at the top of my list! Apples are in rose family, called Rosaceae. I find this so cool & when you look at the calyx you can kind of see the similarities. I can say (from experience) that painting an apple is so much easier than successfully painting a rose!
