Fall?

The 'Feels like' is 95. (Actual is 85) The air is thick with pollen and humidity. I am not going to go outside to enjoy my deck today. DH has gone for some chest x-rays and one of those double layered pizzas. 

I have been busy watching TV, erm, broadcast and videos. PBS is doing that thing on Vietnam. Son sent me this:
 I had never heard of it, but found it enjoyable. DH said it had been on the television. I had no clue. I began re-watching my Poldark videos to refresh my memory before season 3 begins in a little over a week.

I've been practicing my coloring. It does need a certain touch. Found out the pages in those color books are like flat wicks. I started a page to see what colors went with what colors, I have in the marker pens. No idea how long the markers will last with it being sucked into the paper so fast.
This is the back of my page. The front is a little better. Haha. I've tried some of the gel pens. Some are impressive and some of them simply don't work. Guess I shouldn't expect too much for what I paid for them - Think it was $11 something for 100 of them. Did part of one design with the gel and the level in the tube went down half an inch. I will have to plan carefully on anything big. I do take my time, still make mistakes, but it's not like I'm doing it to make a living. It is relaxing and time does seem to fly.

I haven't been able to take a picture yet, but it looks like Tacky's friend plans on sticking around. He's black like she is, but not as fluffy. Just glancing, it's easy to mix up who is who. I've named it Simon not knowing if it's a boy or girl, can always add an 'e' later if need be. He let DH pet him yesterday, so he is cautiously friendly. Not that we need another animal to feed, I don't mind one bit.

Well, DH is back and the pizza is smelling ready! Y'all have a great weekend and I'll see you next week! Take care!

    It's too warm for fall here in south Texas. Have to use the AC day and night. You have a nice week-end too.

    Double layered pizza? That sounds intriguing.

    My experience with gels are they don't last long and they dry up if you don't use them. Try some artist's colored pencils too before you decide what you like best. They aren't quite as pretty as gels but they don't bleed or dry up either. If you're coloring because it relaxes you, they probably both work equally as well.

      Added the pizza pic for you before I had another slice for a late supper.
      Finding a few gels that must be dried up already. I definitely don't care for the markers. May go with a mix of gels for tiny details and pencils for the rest.

    I have faith you will get the colors figured out and find which ones that you are more comfortable with.

    You and DH have a great weekend.

      If you have seen a few of the trailers for an idea about the time frame and still like - I think you will like it. Is well done. Hope you get your pizza fix!

      It's very relaxing for me.
      Ever notice that other people talk about something good to eat and you want some too?

    I think you're doing a great job on your "artwork." Everyone I've known that does them, says the same thing you do, that it's relaxing.

    And I watched "Superstore" a few times, and liked it okay - It beat a lot of other shows that were on!

    Have a good weekend!!

      You have a good weekend, yourself!

      That statement about spring is winter's only saving grace. No pollen!

    Mmm, pizza. It's been a while since I had one. I think I'll pencil one on the calendar for midweek.

    I wish I lived near to you, then I could give you all my colouring pencils etc. I can't do it anymore because of two things, eyesight and funny backbone, but I am reluctant to put the implements in the rubbish bin. What a waste!

      Some things are hard to get rid of, even if you can't use anymore. It's the memory ...

      I think when the cool finally does come, it's going to really mean it and be nasty about it.

    A double-layered pizza? wow!

    I use pencils to colour for the reason that pens show through. I suppose it doesn't matter if there's nothing on the other side though.

    Have a wonderful week. With those temperatures and humidity I would be skulking inside too.

    We have a heat wave way up here in Ontario. It was hotter today than in this summer. We went for a lakevswim.

    Man, the pizza looks good! I think the coloring looks good EVEN from the reverse!
