Wow, I love broccoli, too! Go, Rusty! 🥦

Loved this line: "So in the photo below add wet-dog smell to the odors of hot freshly brewed coffee, fresh fruit and art supplies." I LOVE the smell of art supplies - that wood-y pencil smell, watercolour paints, really inky ink that smells like ink, and my most recent art-smell fascination: white gouache! I only started using gouache at Christmas, and it smells unlike anything else I've ever come across... 🤣

Have you looked into doing some “scratch $ sniff” posting?

A delightful tranche of photos and words! Both in service to living joyfully.

I love how you've added smell-o-vision to this post! Kinda like Robert Duval in "Apocolypse Now," only the pacifist version: "Ahh, I love the smell of wet dog in the morning!"

Aw, Rusty and Hawkeye are helping with your healing. It is said that a cat's purr is in a frequency range which speeds healing, which is why they purr not only when content, but also when stressed or injured!

I love that hippo! These days, joy needs LOTS of feeding!

OH! I listened to a pod the other day that I want to share with you! It is a fascinating history of the paisley, and I see a lot of that stylistically in your artwork, especially the dots outlining shapes and such. So here it is: //podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/articles-of-interest/id1455169228?i=1000624620281

Thanks for the sensory (scents-ory?) overload!

Remind us: when do you get that dang thing off your foot?

Thank you for reminding me of the aroma of crayons from childhood. I never realized how much I missed my tub of crayons until now.

I love the phrase feed your joy, it is probably hungry. Wishing you healing!

Slowly but surely. Not long now and you’ll be up and about. I always love your orange fluffy pets. I love the thought of your dog near a broccoli treat!! Absolute joy. 😃🥹💕 And beautiful arting. As always. Happy sigh. Thanks so much.

“… which reminds me to feed my joy even in the midst of all this darned ankle cr*p I mean therapy.”

This made me chuckle 🤭 I think my joy cup needs feeling with this darned knee cr*p 😆

Did you recommend me the murder mysteries by Louise Penny? I’ve read 1 and 3 and now reading book 2 (haha I didn’t know the order when I started reading so going around the houses).

I’ve also been watching films, I watched Call Me By Your Name (the dad chat scene got me crying 😭) and the new Wonker film! It was fun.

Lol!!! You're welcome to the sensory world at our breakfast table !! 🤣🤣

I just got out of my cast March 5 and into a new black boot. I've had 2 physical therapy sessions out of a probable 8 or more. At this point I'm not certain how long I'll be in this big boot... I've already been given (because of the hope in it?) the next brace I'm supposed to "graduate" to and I've also been told I'm not ready for that next brace yet because I did really horrible things to my ankle when I slipped on that ice.

The moral to this tale is don't assume your feet know what they're doing down there during icy weather!!

Thank you for your kindness!! Please appreciate your working ankles for me!! 💚💚💚💚
