Potpourri




It's Friday.
Time to look back on the week
and join Nancy for Random Five Friday.




*
I love mini-carnations.
They are cheap.
They are pretty.
They last a long time.
And, they smell good.

**
I really like Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream.
Yum Yum Yum!!!



Favorite Things

***

I love books.
I love to read.
This novel has been in my TBR stack for years.
I have no idea why I kept putting it off.
Now that I've started it, I can't wait to sit down and read.
At the same time, I don't want it to end.
I've quite enjoyed my trip across country with Otto Ringling and Rinpoche
having good American fun!

Otto is tricked into taking his sister's guru on a trip to their childhood home.
Six days on the road with a holy man and a skeptic was definitely not in the plan.
Otto gets to see his world  through someone else's eyes --  Hersey Chocolate,
miniature golf, to a bowling alley, to a yoga lesson and more.

Wonderful.
A real delight.
A keeper!

I've been crocheting for Halloween.
Pictures next week!

*****

It's hot.
 We have had some rain this week although we are more than 10 inches below our normal.
Every little bit helps.
We will get a short break from the heat with morning lows in the lower 70s as a very
unusual cold front stalls and brings some north wind to the area.

Walking A Path







Japanese Garden


“For far too long we have been seduced into walking a path that did not lead us to ourselves. For far too long we have said yes when we wanted to say no. And for far too long we have said no when we desperately wanted to say yes....When we don't listen to our intuition, we abandon our souls. And we abandon our souls because we are afraid if we don't, others will abandon us.”   - Terry Tempest Williams (When Women Were Birds)


The August Break 2013
