Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of
leaving things undone.
The wisdom of life consists in the elimination
of non-essentials. ~Lyn Yutang

Beautiful colours and light.
I like the new blog look and your new picture.

Merry Christmas Lisa!
As a total fan of stripes, I love this one; it is also very seasonal. Also the quote about ‘leaving things undone’ has made my day: I’m doing some much-missed visiting and ignoring that list on the kitchen table headed “To do”. I say phooey to the list!
I really like this!
