Pasta salad

I made this refreshing pasta salad from the recipe "Asparagus Tortellini Salad" of the blog below.The only thing I changed is that I used elbow macaroni instead of the cheese tortellini. I am going to serve it on a bed of baby spinach as was suggested in the recipe.

A painting and a poem

In the garden ,Watercolor, 6x9 inches

 

The Sun

Have you ever seen
anything
in your life
more wonderful

than the way the sun,
every evening,
relaxed and easy,
floats toward the horizon

and into the clouds or the hills,
or the rumpled sea,
and is gone--
and how it slides again

out of the blackness,
every morning,
on the other side of the world,
like a red flower

streaming upward on its heavenly oils,
say, on a morning in early summer,
at its perfect imperial distance--
and have you ever felt for anything
such wild love--
do you think there is anywhere, in any language,
a word billowing enough
for the pleasure

that fills you,
as the sun
reaches out,
as it warms you

as you stand there,
empty-handed--
or have you too
turned from this world--

or have you too
gone crazy
for power,
for things?

- Mary Oliver

Chippy the chipmunk

Under my deck lives a cute little guy, Chippy the chipmunk.
We met 5 years ago and since then he is my little guy.
I feed him peanuts and almonds and if i forget he (she?) lets me
know with his loud chirps ......he is loud for his size the little bugger!
And here he is!
