Tallulah-Palooza Friday

Tallulah Mae wishes you all a Happy Independence Day. In this photo, she is also hoping that I'll just go away and leave her alone...


Some scenes below from our very sweet neighborhood Fourth of July parade...this year it was bigger than ever, which makes my heart glad.

Berry Good

When your Be Wise CSA organic strawberries are getting a bit long in the tooth, what do you do? Why, make strawberry shortcake, of course! I used Martha's recipe, and the shortcake itself was absolutely delicious; I plan to make them again with raisins or blueberries in the batter and eat them like scones. And I ask you--what DOESN'T taste better with whipped cream on top?

Rust Never Sleeps

For your delectation: a rusty belt buckle with leather remnants. Found on my street, not in a midden heap, as you might expect...

Goin' to Market

On Sunday, Miss Robin of Various and Sunday and I went to the Hillcrest Farmers Market (after a chai latte, of course!). Here are some things we saw...
