October Thoughts
It gets dark earlier. When I wake up it’s dark. The green grass is littered with leaves. It doesn’t feel like summer anymore. It can only mean one thing: Pumpkin spice.

It’s the month that challenges you with a daily prompt to draw something each day for 31 days.

In 2021 I did complete the challenge, but true to form, I took a few liberties to make it entertaining:
Inktober
What’s in store this year? I took a look at the prompts and the first two were “Dream” and “Spiders”, so …
I guess that’s where things are going.
