I took myself to a fun place for happy hour after I bopped around the creative re-use store looking for cheap art supplies.
A friend recommended this Indian restaurant in downtown Austin.
I enjoyed a couple of adult bevvies and some appetizers.
I love the idea of fusion food - this was curry queso. Dee-lish.
Mornings have looked like this lately. Sunny, slightly nippy, super beautiful. Its a promise of warm days to come. I am taking my daily walks and soaking up all the sun I can.
And evenings are just right for a quick firepit while supper cooks. It won't be long before the days lengthen, but Austin normally sees at least one big winter event before spring. After that, I guess the firepit will get safely stowed away.
Look what I found behind the art in this frame! Can you imagine? This was a major event in Austin each year, until 1998. I think we went a couple of times back in the day. I don't remember ever seeing this framed poster, but maybe Mark had it in his office. Just like when I found the Leah Schwartz pink poster, it was like a blast from my past. I wonder what it's worth?
I stored the previous art, cleaned up the frame, left the AAF poster in, and hung my chrysanthemum print. Pardon the lighting, it was evening when I got around to this project. OK, I pinky promise to leave this wall DONE and stop moving things around. Was I sad to see The Girl's middle school art finally get taken down? A little. But knowing the poster is still in there is kinda fun.
I thought the Japanese cheesecake thing sounded interesting and I tried it, but shocker, it just tasted like cookies in yogurt. Mine was slightly sweet vanilla yogurt as I cannot imagine how terrible plain unsweetened yogurt would have tasted. As it is, this was barely sweet and did not taste like dessert in the least. Yogurt is not my favorite thing - just give me the cookies.

That chrysanthemum print is really beautiful!
I love your fire pit. This is the spring I will get a nice fire pit area with one I can scoop out the ashes and occasionally power spray the mess. I suppose it's just too hot in the summer for fires, but our May,June nights still get some cold and even by late August as the sun sets it can be chilly.
Evenings out with the firepit are always so nice. 😌 Glad you were able to try out that Indian restaurant. That picture of your window in the morning is absolutely lovely. 🖼️☀️ There's something so special about the morning light entering a window and peeking past curtains. 🌅✨ Beautiful.
I would LOVE to have a firepit, and I could, I suppose, put it out on the patio, but it is WAY too close to neighbors who have dogs who love to bark incessantly anytime they see someone. As a consequence, when I go outside, it is onto the deck which is a story high and I can hide behind the plants.
That print is lovely as is your gallery wall. How neat to find such a blast from the past in the old frame. I often put new art or photos in front of the old.
Happy Friday to you! Here's to a nice weekend ahead. Maybe a couple evenings by the firepit. That sounds lovely. I would be happy to have a back patio without a drip of snow on it! I really like your morning light photo as well. Very pretty....
Your picture wall is lovely. I like your fire pit. We can't have any wood burning one due to by laws but we do have a propane one. Not nearly as nice to sit around. It rarely gets used.
curry queso! who would have thunk it?
Loved the patched work curtains at the restaurant. They were so bright and cheery. The chrysanthemum poster is beautiful and I loved the poster with the sailboats as well. My husband and I were sailors during our marriage we own four different sailboats. I truly miss sailing.
Have a lovely week and thank you for visiting my blog.
I absolutely abhor yogurt. Ugh, what a disappointment.
I'm jealous of your firepit evenings. The temps have been hovering around zero here for the past week. We've been hovering around the fireplace instead!
Very nice Friday! One of my features for this week's WTJR!
