Painted curtains

Got this project off the ground today after months of thought.
I'll miss that mental exercise.

Beverly Hills was the last stop on the tour for The Great Elephant Migration | A Coexistence Story

One hundred elephant sculptures were installed in Beverly Gardens along Santa Monica Blvd.

Summertime on a plate

It's officially summer when you get terrific farmers market tomatoes. They are rolling in now. 

These called out for fresh, home-baked white bread and mayo. So I baked a loaf of what we call Mom Bread - the straight ahead white bread that my Mom baked every week when she had kids at home - and then I composed a classic. I mashed half an avocado in there,  too, because this is Southern California after all. Generous with the sea salt.
The tapenade was a Christmas gift that really shines in the warmer months.
The tangerine could have been a peach but the peaches wanted one more day to ripen and that tangerine needed eating. 
All good!
