I Love Gardening

First home grown tomatoes and peppers of the season.  I love gardening.  Yummy.

International Audience

Late night post, the gig was fun tonight and quite interesting.   There were two tour groups there from Europe and Australia, they were having great fun.  We can now say we have played in front of an international audience.

Ready for a cup of hot tea and bed.

Smellavision

I wish we had smellavision, I wish you could smell my house.  My gardenias are blooming and I admit I have gone a little overboard.  I have vases of them in almost every room.  I love their sweet rich smell, the shiny deep green of their leaves and the perfect alabaster of their petals.
This is my favorite part of summer time, when the gardenias and magnolias bloom.

Because of the intoxicating fragrance, I can make do with the heat and humidity.  I understand why Billie Holliday wore them in her hair.  There is something sensual about their odor, it makes me want to sing the blues too.

Become Who You Are

I read this quote today from one of my most favorite authors, Paulo Coelho, it struck a chord.

Vacation Starts Now

It rained today for almost an hour ,you could hear the plants and the parched earth rejoice.  Of course the thunder bolts, wind and lightening strikes drove Calliou and Taz crazy, but we made it through.

Classes were yin today.  Simple yet powerful asanas held for several minutes each, you learn the true meaning of "surrender to the pose."  My students were disappointed to know that I would not be there next week.  Yep, as of today Rick and I are on vacation.

We won't being going anywhere, but we have a couple of awesome gigs.  I know that Rick will probably go fishing and I still have a couple of closets to clean.  Hopefully in the fall there is a trip in the cards for us.

I hear my bed and a hot cup of tea calling my name.
Goodnight, Sweet dreams
