Pour a glass

Prosecco still life

Sometimes you just need to celebrate Friday. Or whatever day hits you as the day to celebrate.

PS: No snow here.

NOTE: OOTF, no flower!!! But still sweet. Or sweetish…. Trying for an up-note…. Cheers!

No purchases

Smood pitch

I think kitchen-oriented folk in this culture must be open to buying gizmos. We love Cooks Warehouse, but I remain amazed at what’s available on their shelves. I even saw a vertical stick with a base and clip on the top, for standing on your counter, with the clip holding a plastic bag open. I didn’t check the price.

Tart tamper label

The Smood is a version of a whisk; the tart tamper looked like a muddler.

Bonus day…

Cobweb in fading fog

Strong fog this morning, fading by the time I took this….

Daffy back highlighted

Wake up little Susie (not sure how this lyric applies; just more of my ennui?), or, How did this daffodil get facing “backwards” to the sun?

Two photos in this entry are consistent with my strange, wandery, indecisive day…not a bad day at’all, just a bit floundering a tad from one thing to the next….

File under…live’n’learn

Bison hotdogs WF label

Never occurred to me; I think of sausages, and hotdogs are a sausage, as being fatty, and I sure don’t think of bison as fatty.

And, no, I didn’t buy any.

On our siding

PHD port huron detroit oblique

The mystique of trains has largely bypassed me, but not the Guru. We now have a resident replica PHD, that is, Port Huron and Detroit, boxcar, ready to roll along the St. Clair Blue Water Route….

Aloe of February

Aloe winter shadow

Do shadows have a seasonal look? I see this as a winter shadow….

Coffee station

Coffee station at GS

We didn’t expect the scout-space to have a coffee maker, and brought our own. My fellow volunteers are a thoughtful bunch! And the food they brought—yum!

Cold (outdoors—we were plenty toasty indoors) overnight. I walked over frozen ground and found frost on the windshield when I went out early to de-sham-lock the gate for our morning arrival.

Good meeting, well organized and guided; thoughtful participation (super yea!); easy to stay alert, and not just from coffee rations.

Still, I was VERY happy to leave a bit earlier than my fellow attendees, since my role has shifted and I’m no longer on the Board, and am merely a Committee Chair. (Here.)

Beneath a clerestory

GS meeting room clerestory light

Every once in a while my volunteer work leads me to do something I wouldn’t do otherwise. Like overnighting in a Girl Scout camp—while it’s scoutless.
