I walked out of the Credit Union and there was a couch parked at 10th Street and Cabot Way
Annual Garlic Shipment from My Brother
My brother shipped some of his organic garlic from Okanogan.
It’s my lucky day. So fresh and good.

Fresh Peach Crisp in the Oven
Fresh Peach Crisp in the Oven. As good as apple crisp for sure. There were quite a few ripe peaches asking for someone to do something with them. E put plain yogurt on top of a warm serving but I was thinking vanilla ice cream would have been a prefect combination, too.
Monday- a beautiful summer evening in Ohio where I’ve come for a few days to help celebrate Michael’s birthday.
Caption for What’s on my Ceiling?
Not a UFO. It caught my eye. I was surprised to look up and see this on my ceiling. It wasn’t a plan. It was just there. And it’s was large.

While Stopped on West End Bridge
There’s a stop light at the end of the bridge. When it was red, this was my vantage point of the city. Then I was joined by the silver car in the left lane.

Peach Cookies Practice Run
These fancy peach cookies, which are more like a full scale dessert item, were created by Rebecca. She’s going to be in her friend’s wedding and she’ll be baking six dozen peach cookies for the big day.
I met Rebecca while I was taking a Sunflower Granny Square Crochet Class, taught by Sarah at Yarns by Design in Oakmont. Rebecca brought a dozen of these peach cookies to share with the Knitters and crocheters. A trial baking run. The verdict was unanimous-excellent job, Rebecca! Delicious.
There are many steps to making these. Baking, hollowing out center to make room for cream. Peach Schnapps is involved. Big sparkly sugar, pastry cream, maraschino cherry for the center. She’ll add a tiny green stem and leaf to the ones she makes for the wedding.
Wall Tarp in a Store Window
Wednesday afternoon, I saw this wall tarp in the store window of House 15143 on Beaver Street in Sewickley. I looked up the source of Albert Camus’ quote and found nothing definitive.
At first I thought it surely must be from The Stranger which was assigned in high school, but several sites claim it from the essay “Return to Tipasa”
Anyone?
