Collections arrived back to me from museum

I've been nursing overly dry eyes and became ill with some fever and chills and pain. Ordered grapefruit seed extract and began using 10 drops in water 3 x a day. In a day and a half was much better but had been a little concerned due to the amount of pain in abdomen and the fever. Today went shopping on the island so i'll post photos. I spent most of my time at the rug store and got beads etc for Jewelry It was a gorgeous day. My collections arrived back from the museum, so some work now to do.

This store in Langley WA on Whidbey Island is called Music for the Eyes. I highly recommend you go here for beads and rugs and a general sense of the wonder of antiquity. I understand they now have shipments coming from Morocco and on their site photos of their recent shopping trip there. They don’t sell online. You must journey to their store. Update Nov 9th.

Everett Marina

 Largest marina on the west coast. 

Beautiful night at the marina. 

And some of my daughters artwork, 

Trophy fish revisited. 

Just enough to keep tabs on my time

 Seriously unable to do much due to an eye problem. Dry eyes are nothing to fool around with. And being away from home with no sunglasses was a mistake I won’t make again. 

It’s going to be awhile before I can dig into anything but organizing collections befir being able to curate them. Simply can’t strain my eyes so much. It’s ok. I have so much organizing to do that it’ll take up a significant stretch of time in and of itself. 

But my correspondence is dropping off. 

Hoping to go to the forest awhile too but temps remain warm so even though I’m

Waiting for the museum to ship my stuff back it’s ok because it’s probably too dry to stumble upon mushrooms which is a major photography event once it’s cooler and there’s more rain. 

As it is we have fires and smoke fills the air and it gives me headaches to be out innit. 

A few mushroom photos from other seasons. 

Note to self: Forgive typos I can’t see very well. 

Some shaved ice recipes from me…

Kakagori style, a slight bit of organic coconut syrup, accented with a sprinkling of purple sugar.. simple, light, delicious.
