rainy-day musings...

"Find something you're passionate about
and keep tremendously interested in it...! " ~ Julia Child

It dawned a dark day...a very dark day.
And the dark became rain.
And it rained...
All day...incessantly…in earnest....and with a vengance.
The usually tame creek outside my door became a roaring lion and bounded down to join the turbulent lake in the forest across the road.
My vegetable garden was a soggy marsh filled with deep puddles of mush.

But it was a perfect day to finish the detail painting in my bedroom so it would be dry when the new furniture arrived later that afternoon.
I groggily began work at 5 am. But the work took my mind off the small deluge outdoors.

Inspite of the damp weather, the paint was dry and some of my photography was framed and hung in time for the delivery of the long awaited japonaise-wright-esque bedroom set that I had ordered months ago.
And the furniture came and on time.
And it is lovely and simple and looks perfect in my softly-colored buttery room.
(Images in a few days...)

But my passions for photography and food were calling me.
So out I went to the garden in pouring rain to get peppers to photograph and to eat.

I do so dislike having a day pass without photographing something beautiful to the eye and cooking something beautiful to the palate.

This post will be short as I still have to wrangle the red peppers stuffed with cheeses and spices into the oven and wrestle my mattress on to the new bed so I can crash in style.

Bon week end…!
