A Friday ritual. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment to pause, savor, and remember.

Lovely sunset view from our house. This is getting to be what I think is the loveliest time of year.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Mehndi Mondays

Doing henna or having it put on are both so relaxing. The paste I currently use has a wonderful lavender scent, and the henna is so cool when first touches the skin.

I have been really into hand designs lately- have you noticed?!

Happy Hennaing Everyone.

His name is Mufasa. 

Mu-ManO, Mu-GKhan, Teddy RuxMu, Muboto, MuMu, Comrade Mufasa, Mubie Doobie Doo, MuManicus, Fassa Man, Muasaurus, MuBu....I won't go on.

He is a practitioner of Catrate, late night house surveillance, and shoulder rides. 

 He is a good man that cat of ours. He has one job, just to be a living stuffed animal-available for all sorts of love attacks at any moment, and he does it well. 

Have a great weekend All.

The Life of a Tomato

 I have never grown my own food, but I have wanted to, reeeeaaallly bad. I don't really know why it has taken me so long to get on this, but I am so glad my thumb is getting greener. So when I saw this beautiful tomato plant one weekend at the farmers market, it stuck out in my mind the whole time we were there, and I just had to circle back by the stand on our way out and snatch her up!

Yummmm! Yes the pizza and the caprese tasted just as wonderful as they look. And PS folks, I grew the basil too. It is pretty much a party in my mouth around here.

Good times :)
