Blog Break!

I'm leaving tomorrow for a professional conference in Louisville. Pictures, stories, and more - when I return.

Meanwhile, discuss:

• Are humans essentially good or essentially bad or does it depend on their environment?

Toodles!

Lunch

Lunch today is brought to you by Eatwell Farms: potatoes, green beans, and garlic. With a little shallots and olive oil for good measure.

A memo

TO: people who spit their gum out in the drinking fountain
FROM: a page from her book

Hello. I don't know you, and you don't know me. But when I was getting a drink at the drinking fountain in my place of business, I noticed your wad of gum sitting on the drain in the water fountain. And I have questions for you.

Where do you think that gum is gonna go?

And if it accidentally fell out of your mouth, and you don't want to pick it up and put it in the trash can that's five feet away, what makes you think someone else wants to?

Really, people.

Baking on a Saturday Afternoon

Berries and peaches from the Farmer's Market.

A pie, and a teeny cobbler.

Quinoa, which I've been dying to try!

Zucchini from my farm-box, stuffed with quinoa, tomatoes, garlic, white beans, parmesan cheese, and olive oil.

Smells so good!

Scrappy Sunday

It struck me how long it's been since I scrapbooked...and I didn't want to spend the afternoon asleep on the couch (again). So today I got out the paper and pictures and got to work.

Some tunes to scrapbook by...

New paper! (Although I didn't end up using this today...)

Ditto...

One of today's projects - a book of cat pictures...

I wanted to do some more greeting cards, too, but I ran out of time for today. Maybe next Sunday.
