Sending cool air

We are having a heat wave and it won't end until next week!

Sizzling... It's nice to get out of the city to get some fresh cool air..

Have a great weekend everyone! xo

Corner view / Summer & Saturday

I went to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden yesterday.

I don't usually visit there during Summer because the weather is too hot..

but I am so glad that I went there because there were so many beautiful Flowers and plants.

I was so inspired by their colors and organic shapes.. Amazing!

Please go to Jane's blog to see more corner views!

Thank you so much for all the comments.

I went to see a doctor last week and he gave me some medicines.

For this time, my persistent cough has finally stopped!

Waiting for the rain

So sorry about not updating my blog for a while...

My persistent cough is killing me.

We will have 95 degrees in the next couple of days.

It will be really hot and steamy....

I can't want for the rain to cool down!!

Hope you are having a great weekend! xo

Shopping

Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes!

I went to the greenmarket and bought some cherries and green peas!

I made green pea rice (mame gohan) for dinner and it was delicious!

And what else I bought....

I received the package from Gracia & Louise last week.

Thank you ! I really love their art work!!

Birthday

We turn not older with years, but newer every day.

I had my birthday a couple days ago.

I discover new things about myself everyday.

I like myself more.... xo

A Package from Lyon

We have another beautiful weather here today.

Nice Summery weather...

What's the weather like in your city?

I received a surprise in the mail from lovely sigolène in Lyon.

It's a beautiful collage she made!! Thank you so much, sigolène!

I have a beautiful lavender blooming on my balcony right now.

Have a great weekend, everyone! xo

Healing

Thank you so much for all the comments.

I still have a persistant cough but I think I am feeling better...

Thank you, again..

My friend had an opening in Soho yesterday, so I went there. The show was great!! After that I went to Whitney Museum to see 2010 Whitney Biennial show but there was a looong line in front of the building, so I changed my plan and decided to go to Central Park. The sun was already down.. I was sitting on the grass in the park for a while and doing nothing... just looking at trees and sky... It was very nice and quiet moment.

Lovely Maria posted great quotes on her blog last week... "What is love?" I am still learning....

Have a great weekend, everyone! xoxo

Sketches

I am sorry for my late update...

Maybe I have allergies? For some reason, I have a persistent cough that has been hanging around for a month and makes me exhausted.

Does anyone have the same symptom? I used to take some medicines but I stopped because nothing was helpful.

I am living in the city, so air pollution and dust could be causing health problems...

I have been drawing and painting a lot for designing greeting cards.

I will tell you more about it next time!

Have a great weekend, everyone! xo

Daisy

Daisy is one of my favorite flowers. When I have them in my dinning room, I feel like I am in the country. I don't think that daises are as gorgeous as roses but they always remind me of my hometown and make me big smile...

I am planning to go to the National Stationery Show tomorrow.

I went there last year too.. I can't believe that time went by so quickly!

Hope you have a great weekend!

corner view / Gardens

This week's corner view is gardens.

I grow lavender, rosemary and mint at the moment,

and I am planning to plant seeds!

Maybe it's too late?? I love to watch the sprouts coming out of the soil and enjoy to watch them grow...

They always inspired me!

Please go to Jane's blog to see more corner views!!

We have another beautiful sunny weather today.

I am thinking of going to High Line Park in the late this afternoon..

Hope you enjoy the weather too!

I got it!

I took these photos a few months ago

but I totally forgot to post them on my blog.

I was feeling upset about my life at that time.

I almost gave up... but I finally got it!

Yes, I am able to stay in the U.S.!!!

Thank you so much for all your support! xo

moment

When I am anxious it is because I am living in the future.

When I am depressed it is because I am living in the past.
