happy Birthdays


it's a big week for birthdays.

Happy birthday to my Mom, today!

happy birthday this week,
to my lovely friend since forever, Linda.
and to the beautiful
and famous Gallerist, Patricia Gelinas.

This week, the Knitting Companion will
be joined by his brother.
It will be a week-long sleep-over party.
Fun all around for curly haired people.

Next month, the standard poodles will
celebrate their eleventh Birthday.
time flies.

shoes and the Standard Poodle


i love these
t-strap shoes.
fun, flirty

and retro all at the same time.
And they're cute.
The fuzzy guy and i think they're great.
In case you needed to know;
shoes are by John Fluevog.

local tomatoes




i made some oven "dried" tomatoes this week.
they were delicious and i'll try
this again. Differently.
Thank goodness for hot-house
tomatoes. they're not as wonderful
as local, field tomatoes . . .
but they taste fresh and sweet and
all Tomatoey.
not like plastic tomatoes.

The Lentil salad recipe
that was partly shown in an earlier
post is from the "express"
book by Nigella Lawson.
I think Nigella is fantastic.
I wish that she lived on my block.

a spring day


Bright green, very comfortable shoes.
The Knitting Companion and i
will stroll the neighbourhood.
We're having a domestic day.
Cleaning, washing, fetching groceries.
House errands. Not glamorous
but very important.
And oh, how i miss having
a dishwashing machine !
