Bright southern Alberta summer sunshine, pansies in an old enamel jug, and Laura’s boots & spurs…..that’s my idea of a fine “found still Life.” I “found” it on branding day at the Q last June, and Laura got married a month or so later. I think maybe this is the wedding present I’ve been trying to come up with for her and Scott.

When we were young and working in Calgary, my sister and I lived together. This teapot was a birthday gift she gave to me at that time. Now 30 years later it is still my favourite teapot, used for special occasions. This week, I had company who brought these flowers. We had tea, and I’d bought groceries, thus the avocado on the cupboard. All these events coincided in a “found still life” on my kitchen cupboard.

Ahhh, the blue skies and ancient adobe walls of New Mexico are calling me, and the closer we get to winter, the more that bell rings in my head! I notice a lot of restless Canadians these days….pacing and gazing southward. I imagine there are a lot of similarities between our behavior and that of our migratory bird friends.

A couple of weeks ago, my sister visited from Saskatchewan, and she & I went to visit our fabulous World Heritage Industrial Museum, Medalta Potteries. She told me it was the highlight of her visit (never mind the teamroping her family were competing in!)
Disbursed about the site were these little bouquets in jam jars and this one happened to be sitting in a brilliant shaft of light from one of the many skylights in the old factory. I like to keep a sharp eye out for visual treats like this.

It’s so great to have a garden again, after several years without. There’s something about being out in my bare feet amongst the vegetables. This has been a fantastic tomato and pepper year, and this week I started canning both. The result was a “found still life” on my kitchen cupboard. Anybody for pickled peppers?

Happy weekend all!
The tomatoes are hanging…., heavy and abundant. I’m so enjoying my garden every single day, and this is the best tomato crop I’ve ever had. Except for this one guy who is almost there, they’re all that translucent golden-green shade they have just before they turn red. Tonight before supper I was out there beating the underbrush for just one really ripe one for supper. No luck. But…..any day now!

The weather here has been absolutely glorious, so I painted out on my deck yesterday, and this was the scene; my little chimineya amongst the flowers and that famous brillian, bouncy Medicine Hat light that I love so much. Enjoy your summer!

If you grew up in a rural environment and in my generation, then you know what August was all about! We would can and freeze, butcher, harvest and pickle every garden and farm product we had on the place! Amongst all that we’d be making meals for our sizable family plus the haying crew or the combiners, depending on the year, along with whoever else showed up. By the end of those summer days (some times around midnight) we’d swear we never wanted to cook another meal, or wash another dish!
No wonder I can’t let summer go by without making a few pickles at the very least. I did a dozen jars of dills last evening,(I was finished long before midnight) and this was the still life I “found” on my cupboard this morning.
