Pucker Power

People complain that when we stay in water too long our skin wrinkles up. Tell me again why that is bad?

The photo shows my newly washed bedspread juxtaposed with the throw-pillowcase that I’ll be washing tomorrow.

 If I thought that water would take up my slack, I’d make sure I indulged in a very long bath daily.

Tic Tac To(matoes)


 The same generous neighbor who recently brought me peas, showed up at my door last night with some of the first of her Gold Nugget cherry tomatoes.


I set them out on a dish this morning and—you guessed it—was immediately inspired by the nine little yellow morsels. Don't worry, the Os and Xs are only through an "art app" on the iPad. There's no way I'd risk contaminating their delicious flavor.

Not only are the tomatoes local and organic, but the dish they’re on, made by potter Mar Hudson, can also be considered local and organic.
