coffee for one

this vintage 70's bavarian
coffee pot was a
recent thrift shop
find.
i do not
use or need coffee pots,
however
this one was so attractive
that i had
to bring it home.
the colours of the pattern
make me happy.
perfect for an
indulgent cup
of coffee and
croissant
on a rather bleak
and rainy saturday
afternoon.

vegetarian cafe

steamy windows

cosy decor

this 

vegetarian

cafe 

adopted the 

name of a

previous business

long gone,

when was the

last time

anything cost

5 cents?

i chose the 

organic spelt

belgian waffles,

my companion

had a generous

huevos yelapa.

both very good.

a great little place

to enjoy veggie

food 

and escape the 

cold.

canadian blankets

the blankets arrived in
the post
just after christmas,
canadian made
woollen blankets
all the way from
beautiful prince edward island.
macausland's  is a small
woollen mill that has been
making blankets since the
1800's.   i love my blanket
(i am wrapped in one as
i write).  there are many
colours to chose from,
we decided on black tweed.
now i want to order some
throws, but what colour?

is it winter?

this morning,
the view from
my window,
after days
of springlike
temperatures
has winter
come to
stay?

airport

early in the

morning

on the highway

to the airport,

regrettably

i was not

the traveller,

the moon 

hovered on

the horizon.

the new year

an unexpected start

to the new year,
a family medical
emergency.
thankfully
all is well.
