Today













A stroll, saunter, or brisk walk
to the two EE's farmer's market for some fresh veggies.
Always surprises me
how much you can get for ten dollars.
Oh, the many ways to cook them.













A post card today, a letter tomorrow, a bill to pay.
What surprises hide behind that little mailbox door
with one little lock lined up row upon row.












Empty lots, overgrown with blackberry brambles.
Juicy bursts of sweet goodness.
Late august or early september.
Take me off the beaten path so I can fill my tummy with delicious
berries and spoil my dinner.












Picking freshness for baking.
A bucket full of blackberries to add to the freezer along with the other fruit.
Or why not enjoy some right now.













Fallen apples beneath the tree.
Almost harvesting time.
I will save you from the bugs and take you home with me.
You will make a tasty apple cake or applesauce.












Many small clay pots filled with an assortment of herbs
adorn my patio.
They need care and of course water.
In return they produce edible leaves
that add flavor to my cooking.













Tea anytime of the day for me please.
Black, green, white, herbal, caffeine, caffeine-free, whatever it may be.
Right now I have found a favorite in Might Leaf teas.
Five, the number of tea pots sitting on my shelves.












Document your day!
