As I was whizzing onto the new 520 on-ramp today I was distracted by the thousands of red poppies that are growing along side the road...zillions of cars, emitting toxic fumes, fly by these poppies every single day and they are THRIVING!!! And I can't grow ONE STINKIN' POPPY to save my soul! Oh, I've tried...they grow wild here - in the most bizarre places - but in my humble backyard, where the soil has been mixed with compost and fertilized and vitaminized and de-slugged...I can't grow a poppy. Woe is me.
On to a happier topic...last weekend at a wonderful garage sale (thank you Barbara!) I found this cross-stitch in a frame and I can't stand to see hand-work discarded! So I rescued it for 50 cents and brought it home, removed the glass and frame and turned it into a pillow - and it's perfect, no?
My King Arthur order came....the house smells amazing....just as soon as "it" comes out of the oven I'll let you know what I've been baking...I'll give you a hint...It weighs a pound and it will put on pounds....
