A little lunch

Here is a nice thing to add to your weekend to-do list: lunch! A nice long leisurely lunch with all the time in the world to just sit and watch everything else speed by. Kind of reminds me of October - it just sped right by!

Me and my suitcase

This photo seems appropriate for today - while it is not nearly this sunny today, I'll be spending some quality time with my suitcase as I try to figure out just what should be in it!

Finally

At long last I have finished my first watercolour! Yippy

What I've been drinking...

I've been brewing ice tea in my kitchen window like mad this summer - sometimes I get real wild and even add a few slices of fruit to the brew for extra flavor!

More colours.

So I tried another felt pen drawing,

this time with out borders!

Drawing in the rain

Simon was concerned about all of the lightening and thunder we had going on last night, so I took my sketchbook out to the garage to keep him company. The rain spots are all natural!

I need felt tips!

With a little poking(from Ginger) 

I have produced some drawings. 

I must admit it was 

rather fun 

and now I want a full set 

of coloured felt tip pens.

The goldness

There is just something about this gold car. 

If I had to get a car I would get this one!

My Bike!

I love my bike! I ride it all the time 

and I still wish that I could ride it more! 

Best sandwich of the summer

For me, summer is bested summed up by this sandwich. Fresh from the garden, thick slices of cucumber, tomato and onion clutched between two pieces of lighted toasted bread. A thin spread of mayo, with a little salt and pepper are really all I need. Suddenly, I am transported back to childhood - I am sitting at the table with my sister, happily munching away on my sandwich while our mom reads us pages of the children's encyclopedia. 

Who knew?

Who would have thought Simon and Sufi could be such good friends?

Market basket

We also brought home a 25 pound bag of onions, but no need to mention that!

Things to remember before you go biking.

Strawberry season

It is officially strawberry season and I am enjoying every moment of it. From snacking on the fresh berries, to the tasty jams that I have been cooking up and finally the sweet strawberry pie - a fruity strawberry jelly pie with a crisp shortbread crust - yum!

After the firecrackers

I collected these exploded firecrackers from nearby streets on an early morning bike ride. I am particularly liking the flowers and birds that show up on most of the labels, but what is with the flaming skull? A potent warning label for even the smallest of children!

a lovely addition to any basket lunch!

Just a suggestion

the dress with the bridge behind it

no more rules!
