Patina

The Simple Life

It’s raining and I’m drinking hot apple juice with cinnamon.  I just made classic old fashion biscuits (out of Bisquick no less!).  It may be a crime to make biscuits from Bisquick in Napa Valley.  It certainly would be in Umbria if they only knew- the crimes of my heart. Oh the lovely starchiness of Bisquick.

Now back to design as usual.  I love the backs of buildings.  Sometimes they are prettier than the front side, less junked up and squished and cluttered.  The patina is authentic, they give a call to the past, something about Autumn makes us think of past days.

pink and charcoal gray

This backside building shines and fades with a glorious patina.  The metal shutters and pink and grey  and orange-rust.  I adore the heavy stone and warm white lights.

Fall is here and the days are darkening .  It is time to remember (and I’m reminding myself now also) that peace lies in doing something with our hands.
