Waiting for Spring

Longing and waiting




It has been a busy and overwhelming, yet productive week. Feeling a bit crazy trying to be patient for the weather to run its course-- no more snow please! It needs to be warmer. I have had the recent pleasure of sampling the fare of STL. The Bleeding Deacon is awesome and reminds me of the sweet spot in Denver. Today was the long drive up to Grafton, IL to have the Mediterranean Bowtie Pasta at the Mississippi Half Step. I miss my global noodle but was thrilled to get a taste of it today. So many memories associated with food and music. I am forming new ones now. And I like them- but I fear they could vanish any moment.

Tomorrow studio time- I need to work on my drawing skills. I got to develop my bleeding shower drawings.

Hello Kitty Birthday Sweet-stravagaza!





Well I was pleasantly surprised for today's special brunch. I am lucky to have friends who would create delightful food for my 30th. I sorely miss my NY crew after a day like this. BUT- I am sure they would appreciate the apple pie with gravy for its palette pleasing oddity. Today was great, the weather was gorgeous and I got to spend some time outside enjoying the breeze and the all-together beautiful friendships I have. I am very lucky and privileged to know so many.

Pictures depict hello kitty shaped biscuits and an apple pie a la gravy. All culinary creations were amazing. There was also bacon jam which I still wish I hated.

---- off to the gym tomorrow!
