Kumquats

My inner calendar tells me winter is coming when I walk by Roxanne's house and see that the "tapuzim siniim" (chinese oranges) (kumquats) are ripening. And then for a few weeks I get to pick one off every time I go to check the mail or throw out the garbage, and taste that pucker-inducing citrus taste. And life is good.

Coloring on Kibbutz

So on our kibbutz, when a public space is deemed available, people pounce with all sorts of ideas as to what to do with it. Recently, just such a space opened up, and it was won by some craftsy women, (shoutout to Leora and Sheli) with the idea of having an art room for the community. YAY! So a meeting was called for all interested parties, and it was decided, as we sat and tried to make origami storks (with little success, I might add), to have a weekly activity.  And since I am working on making a coloring book, and since coloring is the new meditation, activity #2 was coloring my pages. And honestly, I had never colored one of my own pages before. So here is a pic of gezerites coloring
(note to self: next time bring wine),

and here is my coloring page (which I then kept coloring all week). 

And now, for some shameless self promotion.- 

I am selling downloadable coloring pages in my Etsy Shop.
