This weeks energy…
My daily infusion of swamp greens! Energy plus…a concoction of mango, pineapple, hemp seed, coconut water, orange juice, red maca powder, and a huge wad of kale. Blend until smooth and slushy.
Yum, yum!

Fast Approaching…
We have one day left before school starts.. One! Not sure if I’m excited to take the kids back and establish a routine again or if I’d rather have another month or so off…? It’s a toss up.

Mixed emotions…ask me on Thursday how I feel…
Back in the Saddle
Time to get back in the blogging “saddle”, I’ve been out of it for awhile. A long while.
Why haven’t I been blogging? Hmmm…I can’t quite put my finger on it. I try to write then  do one of two things…write some words and hate them all. Erase, erase, erase. Or…stare blankly at the white screen…forever….and write nothing…even after hours or days of looking  at the same page space. Ugh…so frustrating!
Couple that with the meanies in my brain that say, “who is even reading this? If they were they’re not now! What’s the point?”
Recipe for disaster…
What’s the solution? Damned if I know…so I asked my son.
His advice?
“Mom…just start by posting something simple!”
Um, what? Simple? Really?
Epiphany…try something simple to get back in the “saddle,” simple…
So that’s what I’m going to do. Check in on me tomorrow…
For simple!
My Favorite Show…(better late than never)
Bead Soup Hoppers…..you can find my bead soup here:Â Â https://www.susansartcircus.com/bead-soup-all-at-once/
Over Mother’s Day I had my booth full of things at the Bernardo Winery in San Diego, California. It was the 37th year that this show has been going on and about 10 years that I have participated.
The winery is a beautiful spot. Filled with antiques from the century they’ve been raising grapes on the property. Hundreds of olive trees line the walkways and buildings. Lush landscaping and flowers all around. Many small specialty shops and, of course, the wine tasting room plus they have a restaurant in the middle of everything! Needless to say it’s my favorite place and I get to be there (as long as Veronica juries me in) twice each year…Mother’s Day weekend and again the weekend a couple weeks before Halloween.
This time my whole family came on Mother’s Day. My son…
…he fell in love with my friend April’s Yorkie, Suzy. Isn’t she cute?
My daughter came all day to help out.
And my husband, well, let’s just say he found some new friends.
Whenever you get the chance go visit the Bernardo Winery…you won’t regret it!
