Thanks!
Once again, I love the flora, & wildlife of Equator.. & my friend Z has the most interesting posts. Sometimes they are art, & sometimes they are life. Things we all go through, life and art!
Rio Cinto borders the property… how’s this for peaceful?
(Mindo-Rio Cinto- Ecuador) Last week’s Timeout for Art was published through the magic of “Publish at a later date” option, so I was immersed in the cloud forest when “Timeout” rolled out last Thursday morning. Suspecting that my buddy-support system might be worried, I drove into town this afternoon to buy a few supplies, check emails and return before dark.
Look who came for breakfast chats1
Your comments gave me grand smiles, and I’ll be back online at the end of the week to properly thank all of you. Ann, I’ll dust off the magic carpet and catch those magical full-moon-eclipse beams for a fast kitchen makeover! Karen, thanks for your beautiful comment – you are an extremely-talented artist, and I’m glad that my unique life gives you such pleasure!
How’s this for whirrrrrring of wings? Where’s Barb…

Timeout for Art: Collective Intentions
This was a fun little project, & I had to share…..why you ask? Because living in Equator is so much different than here in the US> Because the lifestyle is more relaxed, & I’m thinking how nice it would be to have a place like that to escape to when we badly need a break from the chaos in our lives. And…because it gives you a chance to read a little about a blog I’ve been telling everyone about! Enjoy the simplicity of their fun…..
Say, “Good Morning!” to a Happy Kitchen!

Mindo Ecuador – Cutting a few old boards to custom fit the sink area of the kitchen, Barbara and I enjoyed a 2-day Timeout for Artthis past weekend. We took turns with the hand saw then checked to be sure the boards fit the spaces. After being sanded, the boards were then prepped with white paint. Mixing paints to match the yellow and green kitchen tiles, we sat on the front porch and painted while hummingbirds critiqued our progress. Adding cup hooks and an under-the-counter light helped pull together a photo-worthy kitchen!
Step inside and join us for a cup of coffee; or perhaps you’d prefer a cup of hot chocolate instead?!

A Sincere Thank You
So. Carlsbad Beach in So California
Over the weekend I had a lot of time to reflect on life, art, & family. It dawned on me that since I’ve had my blog… I’ve been extremely fortunate. Not just to have had inspiration enough to continue, because it is more difficult sometimes than other times. But to have all the people let me know how they feel about the continent of what I write by following me.
I am so grateful for each and every one of you that have signed up to follow me, or followed my on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter accounts.
Each & every one of you!
My followers are growing! This to me is the inspiration I need to continue in spite of writers block, or even artists block.
Ponto Beach So of Carlsbad.
My intent is to be able to be a better writer, a better story-teller while all the time still having time and energy to paint, and incorporate my art into this blog as well. That is a big order, and admittedly I don’t always have time or energy to do both, but I have wanted to do both and it’s been working so far.
Excuses be gone! (I think Dr. Wayne Dyer is the one who said it first, I’m just stealing it from him.)
All in all what I’m trying to say is this; My readers are the life of Stone Soup, and with much Gratitude I say,
Thank You all!

Flippin’ Friday
More cards.
After having a week I could have easily done without, I’m putting more effort into painting in my studio. I need the distraction, and it helps to work with paints., cards, or anything else I can get my hands on.
I’m still working on the abstract, only it has morphed into something completely different, and ever-changing. Maybe I’m not cut out for abstract!
unfinished
I’m also working on an experiment!
I decided to take a small board and at the bottom are gauze mountains, up above, stormy clouds. This had been in the making for the last week. The next step will be to adjust the clouds. Clouds are always a work in progress since there isn’t a bad cloud, just one we think is bad!
Clouds
Where are they going….Who knows…..but they are going……it will be a surprise to us all.
Just wait and see!
Old as Dirt and Proud of it!
