vintage tins on my kitchen counter ~ filled with sugar and flour, oats and coffee..and that sweet little dog I bought at a thrift shop for a dollar

I am so so so happy to be guest curating over at Crescendoh today ~ go see!

Sunday just how I like it ~ quiet, slow and warm curled up with dog, mokka and a bowl of raspberry~ apple crumble (and a dollup of frozen vanilla yogurt for delicious measure) listening to the Beatles. I was up with the birds today filled with a lovely energy and the house smells so earthy as I am roasting root vegetables in the oven for supper which I will mix with some brown rice and goddess dressing in a nori wrap. (beets, carrots, yams, parsnips and garlic) After my various travelings this summer is feels so very good to nest in my seaside home and somehow I have always felt Sunday’s were most suited to homespun activities and quietudes.

I officially have been gifted my very first 45 record ~ a beautiful press of ‘my sweet Lord’ ~ sung my favorite Beatle ~ George Harrison ~

This weekend was just that kind of perfect and included some lovely moments…

~ dinner at my favorite restaurant with a group of yoga friends ~ afterwords, we walked eleven blocks (singing with a generous ignition of red wine) to a birthday party that went all through the night prompting a run to Tim Horton’s for donuts and coffee at 5 in the morning (followed by my grand idea to make casado’s (rice, beans, eggs with sliced banana’s since there were no plantains) for everyone)

~ adding an extra class to my ‘Art of Living Cheerfully’ online course and counting the day’s to Lizzies retreat (she has the BEST goody bags and I am hoping teachers get one too ~ hint!)

~ enjoying an exhilerating yoga class (leaning in so deeply to each pose, pushing myself beyond comfort levels and then rewarding myself by falling asleep in savasana ~ शवासन:)

~ baking a raspberry~apple crumble which somehow heralds the arrival of Fall for me (my favorite time of the year)

~choosing a happy little can of green paint to paint my bicycle with as a Fall project ~ inspired by the colors in this cheery video

~ managing somehow to practice, practice, practice and perfect rather wonderfully the paradiddle on the drums (feeling pretty awesome about that one)

Well, beautiful friends I am off to make another mokka pot of coffee ~ leaving you with some lovely coffee images for your Sunday morning cuppa’ aaaaaaaand…I LOVE this tattoo!

aaaaaaand…I am guest curating over at Crescendoh today ~ go see!
