A beaut of an evening for some futbol! #coyl
Pussytoes on a puppywalk. (Seek app says Antennaria neglecta.) Happy Gotcha Day, Rollo! #teamRollo #standardpoodle #gotchaday
It’s been 2 years, today. Miss you, Mom!
I often wondered, growing up, do I like Clint Eastwood because he reminds me of my Dad? Perhaps this photo is to blame. Our dog, Bonnie is there, just barely in the photo. Here’s to dads with movie-star good looks! I miss you terribly, Dad. 💗 I hope you’re having a good visit up there with Bonnie, Joanne, George, Roger, Puck and everyone else you had missed since they left this earth.
Beety short pastry goodness for dinner. Several kinds of naughty other than the beets and meatlessness! Thx @sami_tamimi and @tara.wigley for the excellent galette recipe in #falastincookbook!
Glam sillies: had a super fun time at the @publicartstpaul Artopia Gala last evening! Special shout out to @jennifermarlinillustration for the dreamy elegance for Shelley & me. 💕

Someday Soon I’ll…

Visit Istanbul.
Learn Arabic.
Live closer to mountains.
Read Moby Dick, Little Women and Anna Karenina, The Secret Garden, The Invisible Man.
Have a garage sale.

Culinary fails, lately: Lavender-scented Fudge, Italian Fruit Cake, Herb and Cheese Soufflé.

We experiment.
