treats from my mini veggie garden...

~I am so excited about my veggie garden...i have always had tomatoes, but this year PEPPERS, four varieties, mostly for this amazing pepper soup I make, fresh chives!!! ginger root...will not harvest till later...cabbage, I planted them to close together, we'll see or not and of course all the herbs...the lemon basil is out of control.... oh, the carrots, I eat those right out of the garden...so sweet...xo

how about some cake & cookies....stired up with silliness...

~it's the last day of the summer , i will have my nieces and we have been having fun....

• walk the dogs...all three
• Alli made a MUD cake with fresh flowers
• Haddy & Alli made short bread cookies...yum
• they finished painting the bench..for my photo shoots...
• Alli and i picked a bunch of veggies from the garden...and dried them for soup
• we all had an hour of quiet time of reading...the pups took a nap...

it's not what you do...but how you do it...a heart full of love...xo

my present moment awareness...

~the quietness of Sunday..it's like a glass of water that sits on my desk...waiting to be sipped from...like the tiny breeze, i feel on my arm...siting here typing..its like the jazz being played in the studio...with the volume barely there ...more like a whisper and so like freshly baked scones that when you take a bite ...gives you this pure contentment, that will never leave you....

sweet Sunday to all...xo

art walk....events

the opening started out with a splash at the Apple Gallery,...located in the Good Earth Market...it was raining pretty hard, but that didn't keep the people away, Sydney (my daughter) and I played cards to pass some of the time and yes...I taught her how to play Gin Rummy, and she seems to always win...

and than it rained...and rained..

than we had some homemade oatmeal cookies made by Good Earth Market deli...yumm

than the SUN came out!!!...Sydney did a good job shooting her mother...don't you think...

one apple...

photo shoot yesterday...to be six again..and truly see the world...and just be in the moment..and not question everything...

our whole life would change...

Have a most creative day...

feeling a little pink & green...

I went to the market yesterday , to get my basic stuff...fruit, half&half, veggies, bread...well...the veggies were looking quite beautiful...and so of course i decided to shoot before consuming them...enjoy the lovely images...I think this life style of living alone is catching up with me....no one to answer to can really get the creative juices flowing...Have a sunny day!!

Mushrooms...the new meat

Just some interesting information out of the Spirituality-Health magazine, pg.31 Jan/Feb issue.
Substituting a four- ounce grilled Portabella mushroom for a four-ounce grilled hamburger over the course of a year saves more than 18,000 calories and nearly 3,000 grams of fat, the equivalent of 30 sticks of butter. Waistlines will benefit-and the environment will, too.

Soup day!!!!

Happy Monday!!! There is nothing better than homemade soup....the leeks looked so good I had to shoot..this Monday it is a Tuscan vegie soup...
