The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.
I get fresh basil from the Farmer''s Market and here''s my pesto recipe! You do need a food processor for this.
*2 cups packed fresh basil leaves

*1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts (or pecans, or pine nuts, or sunflower seeds, or yes! pistachios)
*1/2 cup Romano & Parmesan cheese(
*Freshly ground pepper and about 1/2 teaspoon salt
*Three cloves of fresh garlic
Place basil in food processor and add oil slowly while the food processor is running. Add the rest of the ingredients and purée until smooth. That''s all there is too it!
This is served mixed with pasta, but you can spread it on bread or put it on steamed vegetables!

Hello everyone!
I hope this finds everyone well and in good health. With three weeks of summer left, and Labor Day this weekend, I feel the smell of fall in the air! I've enjoyed immensely the flowers of the summer, as well as the rhubarb and copious amounts of peaches I harvested.
Now the raspberries are coming on thick and succulent--I can't wait to try my "Raspberry syrup" recipe on the right column.
I'm ever thankful for such bounty and beauty. I hope you out there have bounty and beauty in your life!
HAPPY LABOR DAY WEEKEND!

BIG NEWS! I have finished a new album called "Cloud Nine." The title became obvious as these jubilant, airy tunes really gave me a lift both in the writing process and to now hear as I begin work on the recording process. This is a SOLO PIANO collection of all original, Jazz-inspiried, Neo-Baroque and Neo-Classical style themes. Translation: GOOD MUSIC!
This is the song I entered in the Toyota Rock The Space II song contest! Directly below is the song "Unbelievable" that you can hear!
Play it! Enjoy!!

MANDALAS
What are those art pictures in your gallery? You are asking yourself. They are pictures of my artwork, called "mandalas." It''s a Sanskrit word meaning "circle" and they are intended to represent chakra energy, meditation themes, or to shield us from negative energy from every day life.
The media is actually stitching on mesh fabric using a hoop, but is classified as a weaving. Go figure.
Anyway, these circles are 10 inches in diameter and can be framed, sewn onto pillows, whatever. These particular pieces are sewn onto stretched vintage flour sacks from the 1950''s and then framed.
They are available to PURCHASE... and are reasonable!
Enjoy!
New Recipe!!! EASY Raspberry Syrup
You will love this easy recipe for raspberry syrup! It''s simply:
2 cups picked, washed raspberries. (Frozen okay!)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup water
Simply boil all ingredients together for ten minutes, stirring constantly as not to burn syrup! Strain seeds through a tea strainer and you have syrup! It will gel pretty thick when chilled, so to make thinner syrup add just a bit more water. It''s really good over ice cream! It also works with BLUEBERRIES, too!
