update and update

It was somebody's birthday last Saturday.... I know she is Davino's BFF but I don't know what I would do without her. HB 2 U!

My other BFF is in town from NC - She is whipping me into shape and has spruced the yard up and we are moving into the house now. She is a cracker-jack painter and we are doing the kitchen , living room and hall. I am delighted beyond words and so appreciate her help. Hey who am I kidding? She has done almost all of it! Carey painted the ceilings, thanks to him also.

Kand at the Farmer's Market....

Happenings around the block...

M and J - and me at the Blue Plate...delightful as always....

Someone was pretending to be a "lost boy" I guess.... I never knew why it was painted...

October herb pots - re-visited and dolled up! Thanks Kand.

Some particularly delicious pumpkin soup I made with fried sage leaves and a bit o'butter! YUM.

Happy 61st Anniversary

Today is the folks 61st wedding anniversary. I called Mom and she was mad. Dad forgot. I spoke to Dad and he wanted to know why I hadn't called and reminded him yesterday.....LOL!
I have a hard time picturing these 2 any other way than fighting each other. Still doing it after 61 years. I guess it's their secret to a long marriage. Drama. Anyway Happy Anniversary to them.

It's that time of the year again, leaves fading and birds flying....(view from my office)

I can't believe it, but I forgot to post my kitchen redux! Looks good, huh?

New stove, new counter and new sink ! Fancy..

PD - in the sand building volcano's
