Still celebrating
A guilty pleasure which many don’t understand. Pouring milk on cake. Usually I’d do it on a stale piece but this little piece was still fresh.
Here’s a 14 second video of milk being poured over a piece of Trader Joe’s Lemon Sheet Cake atop a nest of juicy blackberries.

Old Fashioned Pulley Clothesline from July 2011
A Throwback Thursday post
My friend Joan passed in 2023 but this is her old fashioned pulley clothesline (with a bag to hold the pins). The original post telling of the birthday dinner she made for me – Her clothesline jumped out at me and I thought of sheets hung on the line and how quickly things dry in the summer. The refreshing scent of the sunshine.
The same type of lilies in the 2011 post, the ones I photographed blooming in her garden, are opening up fully in my dining room this week in my birthday flowers bouquet

Filling the Sugar Bowl
Do you keep a sugar bowl?
A friend was coming for coffee today and she enjoys a bit of sweetness in her coffee.I was filling my old Fostoria sugar bowl from my maternal grandmother as it doesn’t have a lid .
I drink my coffee black these days and although I love coffee ice cream I don’t add sugar to my hot coffee.

So close, colorful and loud!

Thanks for a happy Fourth of July celebration Debbie and Sy.

My SIL James Joins Couch Week
You’ve heard of Shark Week. Well it’s been Couch Week in Columbus and Pittsburgh.

Love when the family thinks of me. You know all this abandoned furniture has stories we’ll never hear.
Something You Don’t See Everyday

Wednesday morning we were at the Kamin Science Center on the North Shore. Shanti saw the grasshoppers in the terrarium and said “he’s getting a piggy back ride.”
