I adore this Matisse, which I'd never seen before, having seen it now at the good exhibit at SF MOMA— The Steins Collect: Matisse, Picasso, and the Parisian Avant-Garde.
I think of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas in their French garden with their poodle, Basket, and offer some pithy quotes from Gertrude to liven the drowsy, tree-shaded afternoon.
A vegetable garden in the beginning looks so promising and then after all little by little it grows nothing but vegetables, nothing, nothing but vegetables.
Do not forget birthdays. This is in no way a propaganda for a larger population.
If you are looking down while you are walking it is better to walk up hill the ground is nearer.
