LIFE IS BUSY

Life is the fire that burns
and the sun that gives light. 
Life is the wind and the rain
and the thunder in the sky. 
Life is matter and is earth,
what is and what is not,
and what beyond is in Eternity. 

~Seneca





 
 
 
 
 

Life is busy and I am
enjoying every minute,
[second] of it. This week
saw the last bloom on
my day lilies, finally
being able to pick a
bucket of ripe blueberries,
pulling weeds in the
vegetable garden and
being overrun with all
the produce coming in
at once. There was a
loud thunderstorm that
came in with an orange sky
and dropped several inches
of rain in just a few hours.
I found a long sought
after cookbook while thrifting
for only two dollars, along
with an enamel bread pan
with a lid that will be perfect
for a loaf of sourdough bread.
There was a trip to my favorite
spot to listen to the waves, knit,
and get just wee bit too much
sun. I have been enjoying this
everyday on my lunch salad,
and it's really good mixed with
scrambled eggs too. And finally
there was was meeting 
the newest member of the
family, Sassy. Oh yes, her 
name definitely fits. She really
is a sweetie pie. Next week
I will introduce you to the
turkey's that call this place home.
While I am tired at the end
of this week, it is a good tired,
so much better than being ill,
and a feeling I'll take any day.
I hope you had a week filled
with activities that bring you
joy too.

Much love,
Tracey

  4. Gorgeous photo's Tracey. We have thunderstorms forecast today...I love them. I love your bargain buys too. The cook book sounds useful and the salad topping I have some seaweed sheets left over from sushi making so will try this.

    I hope that Sassy is the horse...I am mad about horses. She's gorgeous.

    I'm so glad that you are feeling better nothing beats a day in the fresh air and a good nights sleep.Have a lovely weekend.

  9. A horse!
    My lilies didn't bloom at all this year. We had steady rain for about a week (it must have been a month ago now) that killed all my seedlings. My garden is a pretty sad looking place right now.

  10. What a great harvest you got from your garden. How fulfilling it must feel to grow one's own food. Sounds like you have a lovely week. Congrats on Sassy. I love it when baby girls have fire in their blood.

  12. I also have a Moosewood Cookbook...got it many years ago as a gift from a friend and have enjoyed many of the dishes in it. Being busy can be theraputic and good for the soul! Enjoy your weekend.
