Don’t Know Jack?

It’s October! Number 10 is my favorite month for so many reasons. It sort of serves as a personal New Year since my birthday falls at the end of the month. As the air turns crisp, I tend to air out my spirit a bit, appreciate the little pleasures more, and resolve to redirect my efforts where I really want them to count. And, let’s not forget orange. What’s not to love about orange!

For October’s desktop design, I couldn’t resist using a quote from my sweet Bug: “peek-ee-boot”. It was his first attempt at naming that giggle-producing game we all know. His unquenchable spirit is, well, unquenchable. (And, believe me I’ve tried many times in numerous public places.) But, it’s contagious in these free spirited days of early Autumn. The playful nature of transition always seems to peek through. Of course, one of Little Drummer Boy’s photographic efforts from last year made it into the mix with its toothy grin–a dude named Jack, nimble like the Drummer himself. The leaves are scans of ones we gathered in an autumn trip to the Great Smoky Mountains a few years ago, captured just as the color was waning.

Hope you enjoy! Point-clicky on the takeout box below to grab the full size version.
