Coffee, and Found Art,
My son took this photo in Taiwan. Wonder if it was as strong as the coffee this teen from County Durham overdosed on.Mind you researchers have found that drinking three cups of coffee or caffeine a day might help protect "female memory" (apparently it doesn't help men). Doesn't seem to have helped me much either, DRAT! Supposed to help with sex drive too, HAH! and help relieve gym pain, HAH!
I think I will just stick with me cup of tea.
ART NEWS
Did a few pieces of found art (not art made from found objects as per objet trouvé-but art made with the intent to be found) for the October Art Stroll Event at the Hip Joint the YSArts Council is arranging. Talitha the Tongue gave me this weird shaped stone, which I quickly painted with acrylic and call "the snotty artist". The theme of the event is street art and we will be asking visitors/artists to bring some art or make some and then leave it in town somewhere.

Caffeine is good - I think I drink 8 cups a day, not espresso though...
I like snotty artist - I've been meaning to follow in your stead and leave some found ceramic art around town. BTW, Thank you for your doll! :D
It's a wonderful idea and if I was close enough I'd be in quicker than you can say supercalifragilistidexpialodocious.
Oh, by the way...picked up the Bernina today (soon as the double hernia's ok I'll get to the doll)But first I need caffeine!
I usually drink about 2-3 mugs of coffee in the morning -- tho the coffee pot say it is 6 cups. I think I am forgetful now. I would hate to find out what I would be like without the caffeine -- tho I probably wouldnt be running to the bathroom as much! :-)
ps: my word verification for this post is burms.... wonder what THAT means? i picture something like a hot bun or a tart. hahaha something to eat with your cup of tea. (speaking from a fellow tea drinker - my heart races with coffee).
This found art is very cool stuff...just one of the many reasons we love YS.
OH and I totally love your rabbit tea pot.
I prefer tea too...my memory is already shot to Hell. Caffiene could not help it. *grin*
Hugs,

I gave up coffee years ago. One morning, while in the company break room taking advantage of their FREE coffee policy, I suddenly realized that my idea of a cup of coffee was this:
Take 1 favorite mug
Fill 3/4 with coffee
Pour in several ounces of milk
Add two teaspoons sugar
Dump in 12 chocolate M&Ms or 3 Hershey's Kisses.
Stir.
Drink.
Repeat.
(4 hours later) Repeat, again.
Yep, milky-choco-coffee had become my major food group!
I walked away from it, cold turkey, never to return. I never liked the taste or smell of it, but it made a GREAT mixer-base for milk & milk chocolate!
These days, I get my morning jollies from a genteel cup of Earl Grey -- with just a splash of cream and one sugar, of course. Yum!
Your snotty artist looks as though he's gone a few rounds in the boxing ring!

Oh, and the rabbit tea pot is too cute. ;)
