Black and White

I know that this isn't exactly black and white but this is the main one I want to share.

These are all shot with film.

There were a couple of hairy moments this week but the joyous moments far out weighed the opposite side.

We rented two cottages for our first annual family retreat

the gardens where beautiful at the retreat

lots of comfortable outdoor chairs to lounge in

spent an hour in a craft store buying trinkets and bobbles for my mixed media piece

on day 192 of my 365 day meditation challenge

practiced my guitar lessons

went to the zoo with my daughter and grandchildren

bought new bangles and an awesome necklace

participated in some fun photo prompts

These are Two of My Cooler Work Areas

Although we have several computers, there is nothing cooler than a typewriter and I love my manual typewriter because it is the real deal, my electric typewriter is cool but it is a modern concoction and they just do not know how to do it quite right so I am going to request that santa bring me a vintage electric typewriter, please.

This week was a rather mellow slow week spent mostly along and I was great with that. I love spending time in Hummingbird cottage, the name I gave my home which is located in the suburbs but there is magic in names so I renamed all of my rooms and I always wanted a cottage so I gave this fitting name to my home and she grew into it.

I started writing my answers to the questions from the interviewer after not being able to do so last week due to my toe and tooth

I started painting this week for the first time in almost three years and it is all due to my blog, http://achallengingmonth.blogspot.com/ because of this blog I am able to move myself ahead on my path

I listened to jazz, Coltrane and Bird to be exact!

I went to a really cool hat store in Berkeley, Ca. with my sweetie(husband of 32 years)

drove to the coast and had a cup of hot chocolate at Mezza luna cafe

watered my sunflowers which are growing near my side door that I used to use as my entrance and exit but now that the sunflowers are towering over me and the spiders seem to love attaching their webs to the wall and then to the flowers, I have gone back to using my front door! Spiders freak me out!

the first annual family retreat is coming up and I have my cameras ready

my chiropractic doctor was able to crack my neck producing a big rippling sound, wow that felt good and released a lot of blocked energy

I visited my mother and brother's memorial sites for the first in a decade and it was healing
