Good evening dear friends
I like to share. I tried this new product today 5 black grain congee. totally unknown to me, I saw it, and after reading the label decided it was time to give my taste buds a change. Black rice, black soybean, black glutinous rice, black sesame, mulberry fruit and goji berry Doesn’t that sound simply yummy. I followed the directions for cooking it in my rice pot. I had it with Chinese BBQ pork thinly sliced and a bowl of steamed Chinese greens.
For dessert I played in my studio, starting a new page in my October junk journal. For some unknown reason to me, I enjoy the fun of October. This is my second ‘art’ journal dedicated to the silliness of witches, bats and things that go bump in the night. Non fattening too.
There need be no reason or rhyme for the “hobbies” or fun things we do to relax, as long as we take the time we need for ourselves to recharge.
Plan to do something different this week, try something new, spend time with someone you haven’t seen in a while. The boost we get in bringing new vibes into our routine, really helps us to rediscover our own possibilities.

Take time to look beyond the immediate vista before you. Often you will discover there is a whole new “happening” within your reach and in your realm of possibilities.





The other day, I drove by a work site, and saw the mounds of earth, with their new growth. It rocked with me I loved it. So much so, that I went back and drove into the construction site, to take pictures.

Iceland, so beautiful, so far away,


Travel down an old country road on a lazy afternoon just two old friends, out for a drive. A country lass and an urban miss. The old hydro lines are what caught my eye. We stopped so I could get a shot. We were not that far off the beaten track, yet, the fields of green, and the old lines, gave me a feeling of another time and place,.
Be kind to yourself. Make time for you. Lazy summer days are few and far between when we live a busy lifestyle.
