Look what I find. Día de los Muertos coming up. Roberto Matta painted Mirmina. Oh those greens warm my heart. The Soumaya Museum has the most extensive collection of Rodin's works outside of France. The Museo Soumaya. A piece of art all by itself. Consider this: We never are alone. It is not inly us humans in Earth; it is the trees and rivers and life all around us. Always connected if we look a little deeper and we feel a little stronger. Beyond beautiful. Lassen National Park. True. Bendito Green Juice, más te vale que funciones. lol Salud! Crispy, crispy otoño. Roses! Nothing like a Saturday right along the river! Enchiladas. I am a great cook after all. lol
