My definition of a perfect Sunday

Find tongues in trees,
books in the running brooks,
sermons in stone
and good in everything.
~William Shakespeare

Ripples in the water

"Its a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll" ~AC/DC

Why quote AC/DC when I post a picture of my 6 year old son playing his new guitar?? Well, let me explain...

Jude has decided, after watching the movie School of Rock (starring Jack Black) that he now wants to play for a rock-n-roll band. He wears his hair longer than most of the boys his age, and everyone who has met my son knows...he has a spark in him. He's spunky, he's witty, he's unique, he's curious, and above all...he's persistent! He wonders around the house with this guitar strapped over his shoulders playing "music" and feels special. Usually, his songs consist of one note...but he owns it! Being a lover of music myself, I was thrilled to see that he had taken a shine to the guitar! And there's no sound more beautiful than to hear him shredding out a face melting solo and proudly proclaiming, "I'm so good at this!" I love this kid! And yes Jude...you ROCK!!

Tofu Scramble

I love to try new recipes! Recently, I have started on a path of healthy eating. With that, I've removed all beef, pork, and fowl from my diet and focused on ways to make the dishes I already cook, more healthy. This is an example of one of my favorite breakfast foods ever! The Tofu Scramble!! Sauted onions, red peppers, and tomatoes...crumbled tofu, and topped with cheese and parsley! I love to make this after the kids have gone to school and I'm all by myself! This, along with a nice cup of coffee, is the perfect way to start my day!

November Rain

The deepest desire in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.

The Masterpiece

We talk too much;
We should talk less
and draw more.
~Goethe

Jude and his discovery

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of you hand,
And eternity in an hour.
~William Blake
