On My Desk...August 13

Well today is a mess.

But that is because yesterday, I finished up some ATC bases and then spent a long - a very long time! - trying to teach myself something in PhotoshopElem. Filling a single text character with images. I did at least finally figure out how to make a Brush stamp stick to the image I was working on... I seem to have misplaced my PE book also so it was a clear off the computer desk last night from the multiple printings and clean out a few piles of papers today.

Yesterday was a fun day despite my graphics-grief. DH had one of his Boys Night In dinners, and we started the day at the Tuesday 7am Farmers' Market. Not too many vendors on Tuesdays but enough to get what we needed.


He surveys the stalls.


Pretty maids all in a row...ready to be eaten!


Hippie Chick, as I call her, has great blackberries...with yoghurt and granola, a wonderful breakfast.


Sebastien is overwhelmed by the idea of 8 men showing up for dinner.


Dick works on the halibut as the rice and tomato/green beans wait.



A perfect summer evening.

There are even MORE desks to be seen over at the button on the right...On My Desk. That will take you to Kirsty's list of meme players.

This is ...the view from my front door

This weeks theme from Angela at Three Buttons "This is..." meme comes from Brooke at Boobooksausagedogs . It's a nice idea as we shift into either fall (for her) or spring ( for me.) We have such interesting environments.


The view is rather short but I do love my front walk (and driveway). That was one of the things that sold me about the house 21 years ago. I eliminated the front grass then and now have a combo of ivy, pachysandra and unfortunately some other things that spring up right thru and need to be plucked out. Not too diligent about that... But good things also emerge from planting ages ago, like one little purple crocus fighting its way up thru the leaves.

Happy Sunday!
