Mme Le Brun

Did you know she was a painter and that this is one she did of herself?  I didn't, I don't even know who she is but will do a little search up later.

I found a few antique books for my collection and we are going to Rome via the pages of the fancy red one.

Meanwhile, in real time, the goldfinches are running me out of thistle seeds, the windows are open to a cool morning and there is hope on the horizon.
