    This week I watched a documentary about Israeli food - it's fascinating how rich their food culture is for being such a young country. I am so appreciative of all the cultures and how we bring something unique to the table. Watching the documentary made me HUNGRY for Israeli food!

    Got my walk on at the PDX Open Studios this afternoon even with all the rain! A beautiful excuse to meet and explore local artists in their studio space!

    Today on my walk I really enjoyed noticing the ombre color of the trees changing color. Mother Nature painting a masterpiece before our very eyes. It makes my <3 happy and I'm so grateful to live somewhere with SEASONS!

      Yes! When I go hiking (especially  with my daughter with her creative soul), I NOTICE plants and trees and even the  soil in our wonderful region. Change of seasons is a constant source of invigorating renewal for me. Yay! 🍂🍁🍂
