Its been a nice kick back day….I did clean the house…worked up a great sweat….we did the grocery shopping….that was totally uneventful…my husband has come down with terrible allergies so I literally mucked out the bedroom…all the blankets have been washed and I dare anyone to find a speck of dust!!!! LOL I had a cooking bug going on so I made a big pot of soup with pork and leeks, kale and collard greens for my husband…put up 5 servings for the freezer…and I made myself a big batch of steamed greens…kale, collards, spinach and leeks….adding a lot of dark leafy greens to my diet..they go with everything and low carb, low cal and high in goodness….I ended my day under 1000 calories @ 992 and my carbs are @ 80.06 so I was able to get those numbers down…It is getting easier…
I spent the rest of the day playing in the yard, reading, and watching the Blue Angels in San Francisco, the local station had it live..I added a couple pictures I took on my tv…LOL I know I am terrible…but they were magnificent…
and then a fellow blogger and I talked about conks, the fungi that grows on trees, she had a beautiful picture of some on a post and I said I would add my picture of mine…so here you go Pearly: go check out her blog.. https://designinglife01.wordpress.com/
my conk painted my mother, this one was found in the Olympics in Washington state near our home when I was young…its 8″ high and 9″ long…and its over 30 years old…..
I am adding a couple other pictures just for the fun of it….
My brother painted the witches…one of my favorites…the other is off the internet…
As you can see it has been a very calm peaceful day….tomorrow I am picking up my niece the dolphin and will be at the pool by 10a….
sooo until tomorrow…..
Time No Matter 
Sounds like you had a great day! 🙂 Love all the artwork and your soup sounds delicious 🙂 My fiance and I were just talking about how now that it’s getting colder outside we need to do some meal planning, chili, soup all that good stuff. I always get the cooking bug around this time of year 🙂

I am not expecting much. I did not even like the trailer. But I hated the trailer for Avatar and it opened miserably with 28 mill with a 250 mill budget. I ended up seeing it 10 times in a theater. Pan is no Avatar. I wanted to see The Walk but it was not playing by me and it is not online. I did see The Martian and I actually enjoyed it and watched Everest yesterday and it was sad but boring.
