Home is where the lake is

What does a writer do when faced with a blank page? Evade, evade, evade... for the most part. Speaking of evading, on one of those occasions I fled to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's always been a place of meditation and inspiration for me. Check out the African Wall art made entirely of bottle caps. Takes recycling to a whole other level!

 

 

 

This morning was wonderful at home, oatmeal and berries for breakfast. It's such a simple but delish way to start the day.

Trader Joe's Organic Whole Oats,
one part oats,
2 parts water
bring to boil in a small saucepan.
Turn down heat to gentle simmer, cover and let cook for 5-6 minutes.
Place in bowl and top with sliced banana, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries(love all those colorful berries!) and a spoonful of walnuts or whatever nuts you like.
Add milk and enjoy!

The lake, an ever changing tableau,today is hosting  migratory ducks  on their way up North(too early guys?), their white breasts contrasting with their black feather uppers and giving me a show as they bob and dunk at the lake. Before you know it they've moved along to another part of the lake.
