In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
20. So if they dispute with you, say, "I have submitted my whole self to Allah and so have those who follow me." And say to the people of the Book and to those who are unlearned, "Do you submit yourselves?" If they do, they are in right guidance. But if they turn back, your duty is to convey the message. And in Allah's sight are God's servants.
(The Family of Imran 3:20)

Yellow
Hi Honey! How are you today? I suppose you are getting much needed isolation at that cabin of yours. Well you go ahead do what makes you comfortable, after all the life of a rock star (and wife) can be seriously weird. I hope everything goes smoothly for you, and that you are having a fabulous time. I believe I just made the best batch of chili I've ever made in my life. So simple too, and all local ingredients. No tomatoes, either. Yes, I used nothing of the tomato family whatsoever in this batch of chili. The key is in the beans. You have to cook the beans at low heat until they disintegrate and saturate. So I cooked the red beans until they broke, let them sit overnight before adding the other stuff. I'm a busy person, so I can't just leave the beans on the fire unsupervised. What I did was cook them while I was in the kitchen, shut off the fire when I left the kitchen, then turned the fire back on when I got back to the kitchen, and over and over again over a period of 12 hours. Oh but seriously, this batch of chili is perfection. Alhamdulillah. I don't think I will ever experiment with chili ever again.
I took apart a banana tree in the evening. Yesterday I took down a large bunch of bananas because a few of them were ripe, so I chopped down the entire tree because banana trees only fruit once in their life. Bananas turn yellow when they ripen, but I can't see that. Usually the birds see them ripen first, after all that's all they do, is sit on a wire and watch the fruit ripen. My Mom has a sharper eye than me, so she was the one who told me to harvest those bananas. Even though banana trees are softer than other tress, like a giant stick of celery, it's still a tree and very, very heavy. I got a solid workout dismantling that tree. My heart felt like it was about to burst.
My last photo shoot was also totally awesome! Alhamdulillah. I don't celebrate Halloween because I think it's kind of pagan, so I didn't plan a Halloween themed session. The computer told me to wear yellow, and from that I chose a location in Texas. It started off like any other photo shoot, but the last two snapshots made it a Halloween theme. It was a surprise for me. Talk about going with the flow. Whoever would think that yellow is a Halloween color?
