Bouquet garni from the garden ....oregano, chives, and thyme...going in the soup pot. Yes, it is a soup kind of night here. Using the rest of the chicken we smoked. Soup is good food. #herbs #bouquetgarni #soup #cookedwithlove #secretingredient #food #homemade @kathgallantbluemoon , I thinking you could be doing the same exact thing.

Wishing you good monday morning with this morning's 'literal' #creativecuppa . I hope your week is

[pamelajbates]

One of yesterday's #creativecuppa pattern play. Something a little delicate like blooming cherry trees. #patterns #watercolorplaytime #creatinghappiness

Started my day with a creative cuppa morning tea. Well into it at my desk now, but it was a great way to begin the day. Irish breafast tea has always been a ritual, but this 'away from the mouse' creative spark is fast becoming another that I am loving. How do you start your day? #morningrituals #creativecuppa #creativeflow

A little walk around the back forty to start the day. Breathe in the good, breathe out all the rest. Happy Friday! #springcolors #springflowers #helloforsythia #justbreathe

Started my morning with watercolors again. It's becoming a happy morning ritual.

[pamelajbates]

Is it ok that I am loving playing and working with watercolors? Does anyone have any tips?

Roasted last squash of 2013 garden.....now creamy butternut soup, with cumin. Love that combination. Soup is good food.

[pamelajbates]

Aaahhhh, sunset meadows...our reward for raking for two hours at the end of the day.

Finally got into our @lagusta luscious chocolates. Oh hell yeah! Divine vegan goodness. Loving the vandanas. #veganchocolaterocks #sayyestofairtradeingredients #saynofortherightreasons
