In the kitchen-
We wait for water to boil,
the tea to steep,
our coffee to brew,
butter to melt,
the dough to rise,
a cake to bake,
and water to freeze into cubes.

Apple Picking and Farm Market Checkout Line
Honey Crisp Apple season and the orchard was open for picking. You could get a big bag or a small. We got one of each
Laura drove us out to Lynd Farm in Pataskala Ohio. Charlie got to pick his first apple. It didn’t take long to fill our bags. The first checkout you are in your car and you pop your trunk so they can check to make sure you’re not loading up on Apples without paying.
At the market we bought little pumpkins, apple butter and some yellow cherry tomatoes and zucchini plus a bag of “seconds” – Macintosh- to make applesauce.
And there were long checkout lines so we waited – there’s our challenge word again Waiting
Maura took this one. Looks like a mountain instead of a cloud

You know those greeting cards Across the miles? The kind you put a stamp on. I’m always buying cards And then not mailing them. Oooops.
Here’s a virtual card to say Happy Diamond Birthday to my sister Mary who is visiting with our brother in Okanogan WA

Unidentified Colorful Berries on a Vine
Saturday afternoon.
These colorful (but unidentifed) berries on a vine caught my eye! Highland Park, Pittsburgh.
The colors looked unreal.
