A Winter's Tale in Fall
I wondered why you listened when I philosophized about stars, ashes, and the capitol building where a would-be statesman might be if he hadn't first run away with music.
Even after I was back here, walking with you along this street you call home, our lives never dwindled into an epilogue of predictability and too many nights in on the couch.
And all the answers came when you held my hand beneath those stars and blew away the ashes of my mistakes, showing me that we are building according to a greater design as we run to the music that carried us here.

Yard Sale Finds & the Past Future of Science
Yesterday, I visited the mega-church mega-yard sale in my neighborhood. I rolled out of bed at 6:45 and made it to the sale by 7:10. I guess I'm one of those early birds. And here are my discoveries:
That big vase is going to be filled with something! Something, I tell you, but I don't know what yet. Let me pause to mention that all-white objects are difficult to photograph. Moving on...
Vintage fabrics & tableclothes. Bloggers love vintage fabrics & tableclothes like they love Pinterest and Etsy. It's how we roll.
I'll eventually to attach a hook to the back of the bowl and hang it on my dining room wall. I'm going for a 70's kitsch theme. More on the later.
No kitchen is complete without a rhinoceros butter dish. Oh, I don't use stick butter. But, it's a rhinoceros butter dish!! I'll hide something in there.
The fabric is an apron. It was deep pockets in which I plan to carry around a baster, spatula, timer, meat cleaver, and a full set of knives. A cook should always be prepared to draw the necessary utensil.
And now my favorite:
An early 1900's science book on hygiene and the ill effects of alcoholic beverages and spirits and opium. You'll see that, at the turn of the 20th century, bones were sewn together--if people were of the mind to call it that. The scientific advances we would make in the next 100 years...
Let's test our knowledge, shall we?
Do buckwheat pancakes ever taste not as well?
Ones woman's trash is another woman's treasure, my friends.

You will not get the last dark chocolate & orange brioche! |
Especially after someone stole my cart in the produce section today. I'm not kidding.
Maybe next weekend, it will be more like this:
