stolen afternoon

I was able to leave work a little early today so I dropped by the

grocery to pick up some tilapia and an ear of corn and then went home.

I repotted my chives, tomatoes, basil, rosemary and strawberry plants,

then cooked up my dinner and settled in with the latest issue of Selvedge.

The scarf is an ongoing project; easy to pick up and put down.

It's been raining steadily all day and should carry over into tomorrow.

The robins are laughing as earthworms crawl out of the soggy ground,

escaping the water only to be gobbled up, an easy meal.

I'll knit a bit then curl up with a book and go to bed early.

My stolen afternoon...

mornings with agnes

The adventurous state of mind is a high house.

To enjoy life the adventurous state of mind must be grasped and maintained.

The essential feature of adventure is that it is a going forward into unknown territory.

The joy of adventure is unaccountable.

This is the attractiveness of art work.  It is adventurous, strenuous and joyful                                                                                                           -Agnes Martin

My job has kept me so busy lately I've not had much time, 

or anything interesting for that matter, to post!

This quote hangs in my bathroom so I read it every morning,

but I think it's time to move things around...

sunday market

My job has been taking up a great deal of my time lately,

indeed I'm afraid it will only get worse over the next two weeks,

but this morning I made time to visit my local Farmers' Market.

The baby turnips and bok choy were just too beautiful!

I made quinoa full of veggies for lunch.

A front should be moving through tonight bringing some heavy rain

and hopefully pushing away the heat and humidity of the past few days.

It's been sizzling hot around here lately.

Hoping all have been enjoying a lovely weekend.
