T stands for together

-

My rose bush, Mardi Gras says it all, it’s a party.
Cowabunga, that is a floribunda
  
Onz and Fi,
My favorite daughters!
The  “girls’ brunch “ May birthday party was hosted by Nish at her house. Nish is a fantastic cook and baker. She says the secret is her Borough Market apron, a gift from Onz and Deets when they were living in London. If I ever get back to London, Borough Market and Kew Garden are at the top of my list.
So happy to be together.

I love Nish’s China, crystal  and antique trivets.
Such a pretty table setting

    Nish certainly sets a fabulous table. The food looks so good, but the table settings were fabulous. Those goblets are amazing. So glad you could get with your girls and enjoy time together, Nan. From the looks of all that food, I think it was more than the apron! Thanks for sharing this fabulous feast with us for T this Tuesday.

    I couldn't believe that wasn't a real rose. You have that program down to a science.

    This is such a beautiful table for a party, and what a fun way to celebrate. Kew Gardens are the top of my if I ever get to London again list. That and the Victoria and Albert. I hope you had a really wonderful birthday, but I know you had a wonderful party! Hugs-Erika

    So nice you were able to get together with your sister and girlies. Nish really did things up royal. Your Procreate rose rivals the roses in your garden. I think you've found your medium. Happy T Day

T stands for Traditions

Nothing says traditions like a holiday...and in our house Birthdays have always been treated like holidays! We hold firmly to the belief that if there is a day you are ever going to celebrate, it's the day you were born. Luckily for Fi, her birthday is October 8, which coincides with Columbus day this year, extending the Birthday to Birthday weekend. We lined up all kinds of special treats, starting with a Half Marathon on Saturday, if you can call that a treat..followed up with  some other birthday specials, breakfast out at our favorite diner,  presents, bookstore coffee and browse around,  made to order breakfasts and dinners,  chocolate cake (yum!) and a wind down with one of our favorite hobbies on Monday... painting Halloween Vignette Years ago, I painted unfinished wood and sold it at craft fairs. Fi loved to go with me to purchase supplies and attend craft shows looking for ideas.  Although it has been a long time since I have participated in a craf...

T stands for Transformation..

and nothing transforms like a butterfly...the metamorphosis is symbolic to so many cultures and religions. The butterfly offers an explanation of the life cycle, and in Christian faiths a symbol of resurrection. In Asian culture, butterflies symbolize long life and love. Native Americans see the butterfly as a symbol of color, change and joy. For them, wishes whispered to the butterfly rise to the heavens. To many people throughout the world, the butterfly symbolizes hope and change. Is it any wonder that I am always on the lookout for them? On our day trip to Ogunquit, I saw some beautiful gardens, lots of color, the ocean, and butterflies... spotted some butterflies... These butterflies were fluttering around in the beautiful gardens outside the Ogunquit Museum of American art. The sculpture garden, flowers and view were amazing. Art and Nature combined.. From here we walked the Marginal Way at Ogunquit, another of my favorite spots... Spectacula...

T stands for Tranquility amid the turbulence...

Every click of the television remote or blast from the radio brings more aggressive news of hateful words and actions.  The stress of the situation is exacerbated by the sad fact that I have no impact over the current environment.  All of the lessons of history seem to be lost.   I can only hope that at some point peace, respect and common sense prevail.  Amid all of this discord and hostility, Nish and I went in search of some tranquility. There is no place it is easier  to find than in nature, so we headed to Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich. Majestic trees Beautiful Vista And then we moved through the labyrinth. Moving meditation Labyrinth move within, let go circle, center, continue  end, let go, begin The current exhibit is Painted Landscapes: Contemporary Views.  Some of my favorites:  So much inspiration taken from the beauty of nature. It was back outside to one of my favorite water featur...
