Bright Spots


Gosh what a dreary day it has been! I can't remember one this relentlessly gray in a long while. But of course there are always bright spots to be found. How about working from Starbucks with an iced caramel macchiato alongside? It sure beats the office kitchen, a cup full of the burnt end of the pot with skim milk and a packet of Equal.

A quick run to the bank in this wet mess of a day. I think I'll stay off the highway. Not so familiar with this road. Reward! How great is this? Can you see that the trim is a dark grass green and the awnings - the AWNINGS! - are chartreuse? I may not paint my house these colors but I'm sure glad someone did!

Back home...more work to do...seems like that calls for a yummy cupcake from Moxie by way of Gardiner's Village Market and Bakery! Which do you crave? Red velvet with a dollop of chocolate ganache in the middle, topped with a rich cream cheese frosting and a dark chocolate heart (Hmmm bad omen? The heart broke on the way home.) Classic vanilla cake with a pretty pink buttercream and pearl dragees. Chocolate cupcake with a tart cherry filling, whipped butter frosting, chocolate shavings and a chocolate covered cherry crown.

  1. Hello Jos, so glad you stopped by and left a comment......many thanks for saying A Breath of Fresh Air inspires you, this makes me feel good!

    I see you started your blog...........and then took a very long hiatus!! Glad you're back because I for one will so look forward to hearing about life after New York City living. I grew up in an English seaside town, moved to Washington, D.C., then New England, and have been here in the south (NC) for almost 34 years. Quite a mix of life styles, all interesting and fabulous in their own way. Hope you are happy in the countryside.

    I too worked in advertising and graphic design, before the computer arrived! Would love to hear more about your design career.............show us your work!

    Lovely weather here, Spring cannot be far away - just back from San Francisco where it was chilly and wet - so heading out for a little walk in the woods.
    We seem to like the same music too!
    Enjoy your weekend.
    Mary
