T stands for Thursday

-

 Ok, so it’s Tuesday, but it’s a rainy Tuesday and I have been doing some artsy things while listening to the audiobook 

So clever and funny! I think I will characterize it as Miss Marple meets The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel meets Waiting for God tv series. Thoroughly enjoying it. Stephen Spielberg has optioned it; it will make fabulous viewing.

Making some envelopes to match
Ellsworth Kelly USPS stamps
And a little abstract watercolor 



More outgoing mail
With watercolor flowers 

And with rain comes
Rainbows…make mine a double

We watched the movie Grownups for a little light entertainment. They mentioned Voss water which I had never heard of, but there it was on the shelf at CVS.
A rainbow of Voss for T day

    You not only found a double rainbow, you found a TRIPLE rainbow with the Voss drink. I've never heard of it, either, but I sure like some of the flavors used.

    I think I'll look for that book in my library, since I love a good mystery. Thanks for sharing your latest mystery, your amazing abstract, your fabulous watercolor flowers, and your rainbows with us for T this Tuesday, dear Nan.

    The good news is, they have one Thursday Murder Club book in our library, but there are 27 holds on it. It must be very popular.

    What beauty you created on a rainy day! Nothing like a good book for entertainment any day. And what fun to get a photo of a rainbow!

    Audio books and art sound like the perfect way to spend a rainy day. I have never read or heard of this but I do like mysteries.
    Your watercolor flowers are beautiful!
    Happy Belated Tea Day,

 I am a big fan of NPR and RBG and this book came highly recommended. It was refreshing to read about Nina Totenberg and her friendship with Ruth Bader Ginsberg, as well as with Cokie Roberts.  I am sure this will end up on my favorites of 2023. I’ve been busy with some art projects, but always keep reading on my daily list of things to to. It’s my way of winding down at night. It’s always nice to curl up with a good book. Happy reading!

Art in Bloom

  Art in Bloom Art in Bloom is being celebrated as a rite of Spring fundraising for art museums and libraries . In museums, floral designers create a piece to coordinate art on display. Local libraries and Chamber of Commerce combine their efforts with local art guilds and garden clubs to host a fun evening event. Libraries, art, flowers…what’s not to love? I decided this was an event I wanted to be involved in, both on the art and floral design aspect. First up: the display case, I asked Fiona for help on this. Here’s what we put together for the event. This is my first year participating, but it provided a great opportunity to put my art to good use. Happy Spring. Bloom where you’re planted.

T stands for Time together

T stands for time together...in Ireland.  Heading to Ireland for a mini break provides a welcome respite from hustle and bustle. It's a chance to enjoy life at a slower pace, and get outside and enjoy nature. There is no place that we find as peaceful, and walking the country roads never gets old. Fortunately the weather cooperated, and the days are long...daylight until almost 10 o'clock at night, which leaves plenty of time for walking everyday. Our range was between 6 and 13 miles per day, making the most of our time outside. Not many people on our route, but not short of company. The dairy farm and creamery is just down the road, so you know our milk is fresh!  Sometimes, after a long walk, a cuppa and a biscuit aren't enough. One of my favorite places to eat is Brown's in Derry. Wine anyone? Yes, please! Seafood Chowder David's choice And dessert.... Brownie, Cream, Raspberry Sorbet, and Raspberries What's not t
