This week's Sunday Postcard Art theme was "Literary".

I was unsure what this challenge was supposed to be, so I waited until it was posted. When it was, I thought I would be unable to do anything, because I had no ideas. Then, without realizing it, I got the same idea that I did in 2020.

The things you forget along the way.
And the things you remember.

I created this using GIMP 2.10.38.

I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth for this week's T Stands For challenge found here.

This is my summation of the past week:

Teddy will be serving double duty as my main image plus as my "T-Day ticket" for my T-Day posts.

Teddy is posing on the Saugatuck Trail bridge during a recent brief walk there.

We also went walking at the reservoir, where the water remains low due to drought conditions here in Connecticut. (United States Drought Monitor - Connecticut)

This week I have the honor of hosting Sunday Postcard Art, and I chose the challenge theme "Pirates."

In weather news, we had some very scary sustained high winds during a storm that came through Sunday night (November 15, 2020). Shortly after 8pm, my electricity went off, so I didn't know that around 8:30pm, they issued a Tornado Warning for my area of Connecticut. The sound of the wind was similar to the Tropical Storm that came through this area in August and knocked down five trees in my yard. Thankfully this time I was spared that sort of damage, unlike other places in this area. News stories:
