Best of 2011: Sights of the Year


• Beautiful fruits and vegetables arrived each week from Klesick Family Farm (see also: Tastes of the Year) and provided the most beautiful salad of purple kale, yellow bell pepper, red grape tomatoes, pale green cucumber, and brown sesame seeds.

• Shopping in a local market, I found a dragonfruit-green with pinked spikes.

• At Cafe Flora, a cornmeal waffle (see also: Tastes of the Year) was gorgeously plated with an orange nasturtium atop a spread of glistening apricot confiture.

• My fearful rescue shelties Storm and Trooper looked funny hiding under a chair and then beautiful sitting upon it with me as they grew more confident.

• Leonora Carrington died in May of this year. I enjoyed her surrealist art and also re-read The Hearing Trumpet and her short story "The Debutante". 

• At the farmer's market, I enjoyed "Kraken" and "Colossus" fiber art by Briana Knight

• I loved the cover of Margaret Atwood's In Other Worlds, "Queen Happy" by alexandfelix.com.

This video made me decide to Adopt-A-Turkey from Farm Sanctuary this year and then on Thanksgiving Day I loved watching the live-streaming turkeys on the farm.

• Tor.com put together a collection of art, Picturing Winter, A Solstice Celebration
