I love the watermelon painting. Watermelons remind me of the dog days of summer. I love those hot days. It's been REALLY hot here, 105. I'm not quite used to being this hot! Can't wait to see the renovation photos and anxiously awaiting your photography. BTW, do you have a flickr account? If so, pass on the link so we can have a preview of beauty. Peace, Light and Love, CordieB. <strong><em>Good afternoon CordieB...I can't believe a week has passed. :O I am happy you like the little watermelon piece..it was fun to do! :) I love hot days too..but 105 is a bit much, I agree! I hope to have some photos on here in time. I do not have a flickr account. I just don't think I have the time to manage another site. I struggle to take care of the ones I have.

I was going to suggest I stop by for some barbecue until you mentioned picking up a shovel. <em><strong>Yes..it will be water melon time until they are no more this season. :) Ah yes...picking up a shovel does tend to keep the guests away...hee, hee.

I have a feeling your photos will be equally as moving :) And congrats on finding an eating style that works for you :) Frankly, I didn't feel well on a strickly vegetarian diet and I've stopped beating myself up about it after attempting it several times. Call it rationalization (LOL) but what helped me was to look at the animals themselves...I wouldn't judge a lion because it didn't eat like a rabbit. And then again, I'm very tied into Native American spirituality that teaches that the animals come knowingly with their own gifts of Life and Sustenance for us. So I try to show gratitude for their gifts, understanding that "life" never ends and that energy exchanges all have their own special results. Monday blessings to you Miss G.H.! <strong><em>Thank you dear Grace...you are most kind, as always! I do understand about the vegetarian diet. That is why I said I do not judge..no pushing or preaching about it. In fact, I think there is only one other person that is in my family and that is a distant cousin. I totally understand the Native American way about it! Can you believe Monday has already rolled around again!! So Monday blessings to you!

How wonderful to be creating the space in which you want to live and work. At the same time, I can imagine it's exhausting. Lovely post as always. <strong><em>Thank you April. We only go there on weekends to work on it. I don't think I could do it every day! It is exhausting at times...but a good exhaustion if that makes any sense.
