#Suzhou is often termed the Venice of China. This is more from an area close to our home with lots of great tea houses and restaurants.

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” ~Albert Einstein

“There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning.”
~Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist -`ღ´-

Photographs from my Son

and his description of where they live

"The Autumn leaves are parading

with their coats of orange, red and brown

in a whirling and intricate motion

on the cold, dappled ground.

The Autumn parade gives pleasure to the senses

and lingers on to the days that are winter bound,

and one will always remember the splendor-

the parade of the orange, red and brown."

~from Autumn Parade by Joseph T. Renaldi

Beautiful creation by my talented friend Dani and I love the verse she posted too

"You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."

Strut your stuff on these beautiful autumn days

Dance, laugh and eat with your friends. True, honest, strong friendships are an utter blessing and a choice we get to make, rather than have to share a loyalty with because there happens to be link through blood. Choose wisely then treasure them with all the love you can muster. Surround yourself with beautiful things. Life has a lot of grey and sadness – look for that rainbow and frame it. There is beauty in everything, sometimes you just have to look a little harder to see it. — Charlotte Kitley

Sweet Potato Lentil Chili with Kale and Peppers

2 onions diced
2 red or green bell peppers, diced
2 sweet potatoes, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced

1 box vegetable broth
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 cans drained lentils
handful of shredded kale
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tsp chipotle powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
I threw in some chopped jalepenos but not essential
and a chopped tomato
I bet you could add corn and it would be good!
salt and pepper

In heavy pot dry saute the onions and peppers until soft stirring as they stick. Add a bit of broth to loosen. Add everything else and simmer until done about 30 min.

Your song for the day such beautiful nature scenes

A great life is not about routine but doing something rare. To cherish and not to compare.
To forgive, not to blame, and to be loving without counting. Laugh at your mistakes but learn from them.
Joke over your troubles but gather strength from them
