Overcast Saturday Morning

Took the early bus to the Transit Center then walked to Mugs coffee shop. Now have my mocha and listening to some 50-60’s music on the speakers. Watching the baristas dancing as they cook and steam milk. Even saw a couple of customers dancing to the tunes as they walked in. Have no real plans for today. Meeting a friend at 1:00 and the rest of the day will be writing and working on a photo project I’ve started. This past couple months I have started making Irish Oats or Steel Cut oats for breakfast. I add pecans or a tablespoon of peanut butter with some fresh fruits. This morning it was peanut butter with sliced strawberries. Helps start the day on a better note. Image is one of the cottonwood trees from the Arapaho Bend Natural Area, taken last week, and converted to black and white. Have a wonderful weekend!

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    I’ve just learnt something new about oats. I had never heard of Irish oats. I’ll have to give them a go. And I hope we get to hear about this photo project you’re working on.

      I just found out about Irish Oats through the nutritionist at my cardiac rehab. They are not much different than other oats, just not rolled like most oats in the US. I like them. I’ve added a bit of honey at times to sweeten it up.

    We enjoy steel cut oats but haven’t tried the Irish kind. We’ll sometimes mix in a scoop of Grape Nuts to give it a little extra crunch. I’ll have to try the peanut butter! 😉
