A Smiling Supper

(right click to see larger)

A very tasty super because the tomatoes

had a fresh garden flavor,

the grapes were very crisp and sweet.

the crock pot beef slices tender,the low

fat Mayo, Ancient Grains bread and

seasonings all combined for a

healthy aspect.....plus taking the

photo and nestling the very dear stone

French Guinea Hen I found in Eastport,

Maine,brought back a

smiling moment

in my life.

I spied it in a quaint, set back

off the road, attached to a

barn gift shop.

I had never seen guinea hen curios

before and had been on a mission to find

something as the neighbor's hens often

go on patrol in my yard.

I gasped...and probably would

have knocked anyone over that

had been unfortunate enough to

be in my path...

:-)

The piece reminds me of soapstone

that I carved with many years ago.

I recall the residue from this was talc .

Not far from here is Soapstone

Mountain, named for deposits long

ago diminished. Now I drive over this

mountain to a mall for art supplies

not available here.
