We went to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts yesterday.
It was the first Museum we've visited since being vaccinated

Nature (Primary Title) - (72.13) - Virginia Museum of Fine Arts |

www.vmfa.museum

I've been longing to travel & see the world but had settled for online
Museum visits. Little did I know that my most favorite artist (painter, sculptor
& jewelry designer) Alphonse Mucha's sculptor "La Nature" is located at VMFA
There are 7 known busts of "La Nature" scattered around the globe.
Richmond, Virginia
Brussels, Belgium
Wiesbaden, Germany
Paris, France
Somewhere in Japan (New Museum being built)
Rest in private collections

Pomegranates (circa 1910) Minna Keene won the Picture of the Year at the London Photographic Salon for this photograph of her daughter Violet at 17. Pomegranates are a classic symbol of fertility and eternal life, and here they represent Violet’s youth and vitality.

Can't believe I found this beautiful blue Victorian Hearth Broom. The picture does not do it justice
The woman who sold it to me said it was her grandmother's. I find it heartbreaking that she sold it but I guess I should be glad I
bought it. It was only $12

The Harvest Moon is tonight. May it shine brightly on you this blessed Mabon.

Have been trying to come up w/new ways to use all of the pomegranates.
The pumpkin cheese cake w/pom glaze tasted great but didn't set. So I decided to try making pomegranate jelly. It actually worked!!! Although I have to admit ~ I don't think I used enough sugar. I plan to make jelly again & will definitely add more sugar

 

[Kdestra]

Time to crush more pomegranates.
A lot of people tell me it's too much work or don't believe me.
But a life without fresh pomegranate is not worth living.
Esp one without Pomegranate Margaritas
