Gorgeous graffiti that blends perfectly with the surroundings.

 

The artist, known online as Falco One, is transforming poor neighborhoods in South African cities into open-air galleries that attract tourists. The graffiti artist since 1988 has played a major role in the development of street art in his native Cape Town. here.

Thank you, dear Carrol Wolf.

Saturday felt like Sunday.

My main accomplishment of the day was a salad.

A huge salad. Romaine, arugula, 

Persian cucumbers, green onions, 

orange & yellow mini peppers,  cherry tomatoes,

avocado, hard-boiled eggs,  Colby-jack cheese

tossed with a creamy sesame dressing. 

I should have taken a picture, it was that pretty.

But, I didn't know it was going to be mentioned in the blog.

Rabbit rabbit! Anyone else grow up saying that? 

I always heard if those are the first words you say at 

the beginning of a new month, you’ll have good luck. 

Like so many charming superstitions, it’s not really clear 

where the custom came from. But who’s going to say 

no to starting the new month off on the right foot? 

A rabbit’s foot, even. Did you say rabbit, rabbit?

A feel-good story ...

I can use one, can't you?

Before Marilyn Soriano died, she put her voice into a teddy bear. She gifted her daughter, Mara, the custom-made Build-a-Bear made to sound and look like her, glasses and all, shortly before her death from cancer last year. But last week, the teddy bear, who says "I love you, I’m proud of you, I’ll always be with you" when squeezed, was stolen from Mara during a hectic move. She lost a book of blank checks, her citizenship card and some electronics, too, but the bear was her most valuable possession.

Mara's pleas for the bear’s safe return were widely heard. 

Actor Ryan Reynolds offered $5,000 for the bear’s safe return, no questions asked. A Canadian TV personality and a peanut butter company chipped in money too, raising the total reward to $15,000 — and within a few days, Mara had her bear back, voice box intact. She said two "Good Samaritans" returned the bear after they found it at a park nearby."It means just everything to me honestly," she said. "There was a part of me that thought I'd never see it again."

This could be one of so many days where I do almost 

the same thing at the same time of day, every day? 

well-curated junk mail ready for auditions for collage.

I did play in two old unfinished journals and 

I will probably select a page for tomorrow's blog art 

like I did yesterday, here.

It is a fun Rx to just sit, tear paper, and paste @ random.

What's your Rx? I hope you'll share it?
