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,
    Kate

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...
