Before I was doing circles....
Everything outside is damp and still this morning...no breeze. I uncovered the container plants. I won't need to carry four liter watering cans out to the Peach Trees today. The trees are still dropping infant peaches....my daughter says the trees are doing an internal audit of just how many peaches they can actually bring to maturity. The Plum tree behind the garage decided this much earlier.
The smaller tree...has in it's lifetime..... only created one ripe peach......so anything it makes over one....is pretty exciting. At about the time The Peach was ripe......I also baked Whoopie Pies. A Maine specialty. It was labor intensive and the tiny little cakes filled with whatever it is.....were a huge hit. I gave them to neighbors and took them to the Library where I worked at the time. I never made a second batch.
I vaguely remember all the baking I did back then. Ina Garten's Cheesecake. A famous magazine's recipe for cookie dough that could be fashioned into six different cookies. It took all day. For each of those things...which I only did the one time.
My husband didn't want to try the Whoopie Pie or eat any of the Cookies. A Solitary Life.
So...Saturday. I have no plans for the day. I read The Hating Game yesterday. A favorite book. There is a movie but only on some cable subscriber service. Which I don't have. I am now reading.. Mrs. Nash's Ashes (new to me). A road trip of sorts....by two people who met each other at the wrong time....but now it's the right time. They argue about everything.. how to drive the car, where to stop and eat, what to eat etc etc etc.. and we are now at the Romance Book Trope- "sharing the one bed available in the Bed and Breakfast Place" after hitting a deer and wrecking the car. Always only one bed available.
No-one thinks to sleep on the floor or in a chair.
So...A very wet and still Saturday in Maine. I had to turn on the lights. And I haven't made breakfast as yet. 9 am..... Why am I awake????
