vivid colour












































i don't know what the current exterior paint
colour trends are elsewhere. around here,
especially in my neighbourhood, people are
choosing taupe for their exterior house colour.
businesses and stores are going taupe as well.
everyone prefers to disappear into taupeness.
it was refreshing to see this establishment
splash some vivid colours on their
walls.

organic market


























































while at the organic market
checking out the beets and kale,
my attention
was drawn to the community
oven. inside pizzas were
baking. hmm, what would
it take to build an oven in
my tiny dark garden?
just a thought.

vintage juicer






































it has happened
to many of us,
a friend or relative
de-cluttering.
first
the smile,
then the presentation
of the bag or box,
i thought you might find
this useful.
oh, why thank you!?
a vintage juicer
rediscovered during
a brief de-cluttering
moment.
it works! the juice,
what was on hand:
2 carrots, 2 apples, a lime
an orange,
with a knob of ginger.
very good!
more juice will
be made as long as
the vintage juicer works.
