Roses

 These are some roses from daughter L's garden.  The previous owner left a wonderful garden behind.   They do their best to maintain it. The photo was taken last month, the flowers have done so well with all the rain this summer.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Mouse and Salmon

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! Here is my mouse ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour pencil.

 For the Dinner date, I have some roasted salmon with mustard microgreens, dijon mustard and lime.  This cut baked up at 400F for 23 minutes.  You can see where I kept cutting the salmon to test for doneness, this works for me as opposed to a meat thermometer.  It was delicious nonetheless.  It was a nice cut on sale.

Vitamin K2

 I get these vitamin K2 + D3 pills from Costco and take it daily.  It seems Vitamins K2  and D3 adds to our bone health as stated in the photo.  I don't take calcium pills.

My Coaster Art

 

I had these coasters made from a splatter art piece I did awhile back.  I plan to give the original (12" x 12") piece to a friend for her birthday.  She had commented that she liked it.

I have to find another way to print my art, Shutterfly has started charging me duty to have it shipped as it is across the border.  I usually take advantage of their 'free' offers not including postage.  

Fun Fact - Brick Roads

 I have an interesting fact for  you today, this is likely not suitable to implement in North American roads with our heavy traffic and large highways but it works for them!
