Settled in the Maritimes of Canada, surrounded by the forest and Acadian Mountain Chain, I live a simple life of gratitude. This blog is a journal of my art, food, furkids, garden, home, my life and my thoughts. Thanks for reading!

Welcome my Friends, to Thursday's Art and Dinner Date! 😊😊
🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is Trains! Bugs Bunny is off his rails with that load of carrots he's hauling! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it!
For our 😋 Dinner Date!! 😋 I made a delicious Potato and Leek Soup! (See below for the video/recipe!)
I also made a skillet bread to go with the soup. Here's the very easy recipe:
1. Proof 1 & 1/4 tsp active dry yeast in 385 ml warm water (100-105 F).
2. In a large bowl, mix 3 & 1/2 cups bread flour with 1 & 1/2 tsp salt.
3. Add yeast mixture, mix with spatula until it forms a sticky dough. (Make sure all flour is incorporated)
4. Toss some olive oil into the bowl, turn the dough a few times, cover and let rise in a warm spot for 90 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 400 F.
6. Lightly oil your skillet with olive oil then wipe off excess. (My cast iron pan is a 12" but a 10" would make a better fit I think)
7. Place dough in pan and press out to fit the pan. Cover and let rest 30-45 minutes.
8. Bake 30-35 minutes until the top is lightly browned.
Have you seen the new Donald Sutherland stamp here in Canada? I love it! I bought a pack!

Welcome my Friends, to Thursday's Art and Dinner Date! 😊😊 I'm back! I took a well-needed few months off and now I'm back to blogging! I still have tons of work on my plate, but I'm much better able to manage it now.
🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is Potions! Do you remember the Looney Tunes short where Tweety Bird drank the Hyde Potion? That scared me so much as a kid! Those creators really made Tweety look terrifying!
Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it!
I have an announcement! On Sunday October 15th, I'll be 💥LIVE 💥on my Rain's Kitchen and Garden YouTube channel! I'll be premiering a short film I created (it's a funny parody) and then I'll be sticking around to chat with my friends and followers! Click here for the link to the live stream. You need a Gmail account and a YouTube channel to join the chat BUT...you don't need to create a YT Channel with content, just click on "create channel" when prompted and that will allow you to chat. You can always watch without chatting or watch the replay if you like. Hope that made sense!
For our 😋 Dinner Date!! 😋 I made a really comforting Vegan Chili (I'll have the video and recipe up on Rain's Kitchen and Garden on Sunday).
Jack is still stable, the meds are helping with his nose tumour. He's really slowing down though. Raven is doing well, though hunting season has started and she's terrified of gunshots. Sigh! Baby Oscar is doing very well, no issues ever with him!

I just wanted to share a little bit about what's going on with me! I needed a break from blogging to focus on my business ventures.
Most of you know that I'm working very hard on my YouTube channels and I continue to do that.
I've taken many courses over the last few months on how to build a business online. I'm now in the planning stages of building two websites. One will concentrate on kitchen, garden and home; and the other will concentrate on art and host my art web store. When these sites are live, I won't be posting here anymore, but I will leave redirect links for anyone interested!
I plan to have these websites up and running in early 2024.
I've also decided I will continue TADD! Thursday's Art Date will be hosted on my new art website starting in 2024. I will provide weekly prompts and participate like I used to. I miss it a lot! I don't know that I'll have time to participate here on Blogger before the new year, but I'll try!
The pets are doing very well! Jack's tumour seems to have stopped growing with the addition of steroids. I'm also happy to say that Alex and I remain friends and the possibility of reconciliation is in our future. Nine months of separation seemed to have been a good thing! ☺
Canning season is coming up although the weather has been so wet here, I wonder if the local farms will have good crops this year, and if they do, I'm sure they'll be really expensive.
Let me know how you are all doing my friends! I miss you and I'll be by to visit you soon! ♥♥♥
