Red

Geraniums, I have lots in tubs. Beginning of a new week and I am watching squirrels on the fence and reading some library books about wild food/foraging.  My Thai nephew and niece like eating that sticky weed called cleavers, you know, the stuff that sticks to your clothes as it has little tiny hooks that hold on.  The young shoots are delicious, apparently.  They stir fry it.  We have stir fry here tonight, just thinking..........

It's rainy and blustery today with bursts of sunshine.  I feel in need of some vitality, my weekly shop is full of healthy vegetables and fresh fruits, currently the supermarkets are offering peaches at a good price and I can eat a lot of them without even counting.   Natural yoghurt with honey and some linseeds goes well.  We also have strawberries in the shops, red, ripe and very sweeet.

The painting above was done in a hurry, and you can see that, I find it difficult to do things slowly and with care - will have to do this one again as it's not good enough, but I thought it would brighten the blog page :)  not fishing for compliments, it's ok, I am my own critic.  I do like the colour though.  Red feels important this week, I want to paint in red, eat red fruit, wear red clothes, not sure how long this passion for red will last..... how's your week going?
