I love especially, “By a Lover of Her Sex.”

Photo Challenge Day 1: Abstract 📷

Got a card reader that allows me to transfer images from my Nikon to my iPhone and iPad for editing. Travel game changer!

My wife loves the label… she liked the wine too…

And, tomato and watermelon salad…

Making pesto in a mortar and pestle… it’s a little work but the flavor is more intense…

Apparently it’s time to start thinking about my Halloween decorations…

Went to see… 🎥🍿🎬

Sitting here waiting for the end of Open Studios. Been a good day. Decent number of visitors. A couple of sales with another possible. And this photo which I’ve been thinking all afternoon I should take and finally did…

Day two of Beacon Open Studios begins at noon! If you are in the area come visit! I am #9 on the map.

Open Studios day one coming to a conclusion. Among my visitors was @Parag!Thanks for coming! First time either one of us has met an M.b member in the flesh.

BOS has arrived! If you are in or near the Hudson Valley, come visit!

Accordion book display installation for Open Studios this weekend…

I know at least one M.b peep is within day trip distance of Beacon, NY. In case anyone else is. Going to be a beautiful weekend and we have several craft beer establishments to whet the whistle in.

If you wanted to, you could divide the world into two parts. One part would contain all those people who are able to control the narrative that surrounds them and who for that reason are in charge of their own destiny. The other part contains all the rest of the people whose story is largely defined by those other people. From what I can tell a much larger fraction of the world is part of the second group. Despite (or rather because of) their enormous privilege, the first group resists changing this situation.

New set of cloth produce bags. One more source of plastic eliminated.

In case anyone here is in the area…

Fresh from the market. Got some garlic scapes too. Gonna make a pesto with the garlic scapes, roast the “blooming cauliflower,” and serve them together. I think that will be quite nice…

I’m not sure why the app is saying uh-oh… was I an overachiever? Is that a bad thing? At any rate, my final tally of words written during the 1000 words of summer challenge. I think I have the beginnings of a novella. We’ll see.

Having just finished season 2 of The Bear, this Chinese fortune is like a message from the gods… The Bear gods…

Closing in on 14K words with two days left to go. Should make it and then some. And I didn’t start until day 2!

Day 7 of the 1000 words of summer challenge and I am almost at 7k words… catching up after having missed the first day. Having fun with this!

All five accordion books for an upcoming show now completed. Now for the slipcases…

New addition to the everyday mandala series…
