A Day of Jam and Bread.

Home blooms.

A.M. breakfast

blue

skies

hint

clouds,

bloom

a book

and

bowl of cereal.

I
never
tire
(ever)

of
simple

turns

beauty.

On a Tuesday.

2012-01-31T15:27:00.000-08:00

These tulips were never properly plucked from their wrapper,

just stuck in a

jar, and

there they have sat

all

week.

But the sun, showed up

this a.m.

just a ray

or two, and

suddenly

those

old tulips

became

quiet

favorite.

Quite.

And

the

dishes

et. al.

small

leaning

towers

placed precariously

make

smile

too,

why

not.

favorite

book

There.

Easy
does

it.

Mostly Rain

2012-01-19T13:43:00.000-08:00

Rain

all

the

live long day, and

night, with a

tincture of

snow

yesterday.

one

home sick

and

seeking

things

to do

papaya

to eat,

and

things

to draw.
And a fire
to light
in the fireplace.

Then Comes A Day after New Years

2012-01-16T00:10:00.000-08:00

January
days
and
books that
tower
and
beckon
and
lean
towards
you

when you walk by.

So, out of a farmer's cookbook,
a child finds a recipe,
alters it,
and

bakes

this

cake. Let us partake.

And Tweed
looks
longingly
on.

Light of Day

2011-12-15T17:13:00.000-08:00

Mid

December

and candles lit and pages

yet to

turn.

School

days

end

and

girls rush

home

for

hot

chocolate. And Christmas

movies

here

and

there.

Just That Time

2011-12-11T23:09:00.000-08:00

It's that
time
of
year.

The tree
brought
inside.
Lights,
candles,
action.

Girls hanging

ornaments.

Fresh

hazelnuts and

apple cider from

the farm, now

just

need some

snow.

Well,

sunlight

works

too.

Good Morning

2011-12-08T10:37:00.000-08:00

And in this studio,

there is

light

that

streams through windows this a.m.,
a bold

muted light

which

streams and dapples around

paints and brushes

enticing

paper

sway

and

designs

to be

drawn.

Smatterings

2011-12-07T03:05:00.000-08:00

So,

just a

few scatter

leaves

and
then
December
.
Not
many
pictures
taken. But life

is
sometimes
like that.

2011-10-12T00:57:00.000-07:00

a tired child or two,
and a sleeping dog

here
and

there .

sundayhours .

soak and bask .

A

chair to

watch the view

as

a

leaf

swiftly fades
to

earth .

Peace . In

2011-10-04T18:33:00.000-07:00

Raspberries

red allure)

to
light.

Right

a bit

drowsy days

and bananas ripe for

the taking

happy monday .

2011-07-02T03:22:00.000-07:00

that

sun

seemed to whistle

to july

and

both

showed

together. . . .

unison .

not that i mind -

love

the

reflection

and

the

way

all light

moves

. . . .

there are

sounds

known

only

summer

sprinklers

children home during

the

day

chopsticks and fur elise on the piano
and

lots

chatter

and jobs

being

done

and

if you

are still

some

birds. . . .

the trees

around

here .

simple

the

way

a
day

goes -

you

blink

and it's

gone

. . . .

however,

you

can

always

wake up to

another. . . .

and another .

now to fill. . . .

paper cut outs, little plastic
animals, and books and games all around .

picnic perhaps .

the

clock

ticks

and

fourth of

july

weekend

inches

here

well, let it inch .

will

greet

hopefully

with

barbecue

and

s'mores .

summer

windows

and

a quick

snap

or two

. . . .

the breeze

feels

great

today .

calming. . . .

2011-06-27T00:17:00.000-07:00

there are weeks

and

there

are

momentous

weeks. . . .schools out .

two baby visitors and their parents

and a vip's birthday. . . .

good times .

and

summer ahead .

and

those plans - keep it simple .

popsicles . a few

super soakers. . . .old movies

and hammocks .

yes, there

are shells to see

and things to make

audio books to listen to

and

the sea

to think

and dream

of -

so, on to. . . .

a few kid's games

and of course madeline in paris

to help . there are puppies amiss. . . .

now

where ?

2011-06-16T00:40:00.000-07:00

one small step for

mankind

this astronaut

sighting today. . . .

plastic toys seem
to lay around -

meteor showers again. . . .

well, it sounds a lot better than

things awry .

amazing discoveries .

you never know

what you will happen

upon

trotting

across one's resting place -

life's mysteries. . . .

then blooms appeared in my room,
sent by she who grew flowers,

i, of course, love peonies
and roses .

so, many thanks - really appreciated .

even the
small, white
man from those outer realms loved the

view,

who doesn't. . . .
