Harvest Bounty of Fall Fruits
Your last-paragraph comments about attractive, healthy fruit versus junk food caused me to think quite a bit about the foods necessary and not necessary to happy lifestyles.
A beautiful, healthy environment gives such a reinforcement to a ...

Marianne Stokes
The second paragraph to your introduction describes Marianne Stokes works as few and far between in terms of public exhibitions.
What public places have artwork by Adrian and Marianne Stokes?

Snow White and Its Symbols
The film version of La belle et la bête that I'm acquainted with is black-and-white. That makes it a bit difficult to try to take your symbols for Snow White and adapt them to that filmed version.
Kenneth Branagh's Cinderella may be accessed ...

Thinking About Painting Your Walls Pink?
It would be interesting to carry color-scheme predominance to the outside and to coordinate indoor and outdoor presentations.
What would be the blue, the blue and pink and the pink plants that you'd mention? What would their containers consider ...

Harvest Bounty of Fall Fruits
Your writing a similar-organized wizzley about fall nuts could be quite helpful what with September just around the corner.
The south and the west yards respectively have a chestnut tree and a black walnut tree. Would your list of fall nutty ...

Marianne Stokes
The second paragraph to your introduction considers her paintings largely in private collections and rarely in public exhibits as perhaps accounting for Marianne Stokes' more or less non-visibility on the 21st-century art scene.
Is there any ...

Thank you so much for highlighting this lady's work, It is absolutely beautiful and quite new to me. The way she uses unusual shades is inspirational and her attention to detail is excellent.

Wild Fell: a wild life Warden's Experiences
You Americans have impressive regulations. We have nothing like them. We could take a leaf out of America's book.

The third sentence in the first paragraph to your introduction concludes that Marianne Stokes left a legacy mostly forgotten within less than 100 years.
Is that the same fate of her husband's art legacy and works? Wikipedia mentions Adrian ...

Wild Fell: a wild life Warden's Experiences
Hobby farms on this, western-pond side must be under 50 acres (20.23 hectares) and show profits never or no more often than one or two out of every five years. Their owners operate them as holiday and weekend homes for garden-, horse-, livestock ...

Snow White and Its Symbols
The fairy tales that I'm most familiar with as films are Cinderella (directed by Kenneth Branagh) and La belle et la bête.
It looks like Snow White will be among the 2024-released films.
Won't it be interesting to see how faithful to such ...

Wild Fell: a wild life Warden's Experiences
True, but some land is wasted. Take the example of hobby farms. Some farms are kept as rich people's playgrounds, when the country's need for food should necessitate their cultivation.

This isn't an excuse but is one of the reasons for intensive agriculture in the British Isles the limited amount of land available for cultivation?

Harvest Bounty of Fall Fruits
It's helpful that your last paragraph lists junk fruit as ultimately not as healthy and tasty as fruit. It's lamentable too all the many more calories that junk food lodges in our bodies.
Mightn't junk food also be criticized for such bad ...

Marianne Stokes
Your introductory paragraph observes that Adrian and Marianne Stokes sometimes worked and exhibited together.
Might that working together mean that they sometimes did their art in the same locale for on-site painting or in their same at-home ...
