hot drinks, mainly coffee, actually only coffee

Some reasons for having a hot cup of something:

Reason 1
Rewarding myself with a cappuccino after a good day of work. I bought a hand-held frothier for those times when I want that added pleasure of fluffy milky goodness topping my cup of coffee.

Reason 2
I work at home, and although I love the view from my art room, sometimes I need a change of environment. Going out to a coffee shop is a good break, and the walk to town gives me some fresh air and time to comb through my thoughts.

I'll take a cappuccino,  please.

Reason 3
A couple of years ago, I changed my morning routine from starting my work as soon as I got up to taking some time in the morning to study and collect my thoughts. I treasure these quiet mornings with coffee and time to reflect.

LOVELY, ambient image of your frothy cup of java, Juana--love this! "Moment in Time with Coffee". ;o) All VERY excellent reasons for a cup of deliciousness. I'm more of a tea person, but I do like an occasional coffee--strong... espresso... or a cream-laced iced coffee. Like you, I have to ease into the day. I like to sit with my cup of tea, pray, read a little--and if I can sit outdoors doing those too, all the better. I have a hard time jumping feet first into the day. Slow-mo... yup, that's good... ;o) Happy Days ((HUGS))

bird watching and staying home for the summer

Usually summer means several bicycle-camping trips, but with COVID19 still around, we are staying home. In the meantime, I have been pretty productive with my 100 Self Portraits project.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
