Nice Day for a Walk

  • Where did I walk/ride? To the park, 5513 steps
  • Treasures found: 1 penny

The weather turned freakishly cool again today.  Thank goodness, we get to put off summer for another day!  I actually needed a SWEATER when we went walking to the park.

At the park I saw a beautiful snowy egret in full breeding plumage, and a brown thrasher that was quite bold, possibly defending a nest territory.  That's only the second brown thrasher I've ever seen and certainly the best look I've ever gotten.  They are beautiful birds, big with lots of pretty speckles on their tummies.

Rob called his mother (for Mother's Day) and it sounded like she was having a nice celebration.  Her daughter and a couple of grandchildren and a cousin were all visiting, and they were planning to eat a lavish brunch.  I talked to Rob's sister Jane; she has become a dance addict and goes dancing three or four times a week.

Later I made spaghetti, and a big salad with fresh greens from my garden.  I've pretty well ravaged the garden, though; I've not done a good job of planting more lettuce every couple of weeks so that it matures at different times.  Some that I did plant later is not growing very well.  But I have a banana pepper that is just about the size of a banana.  Can't wait to harvest it and see how it tastes!

Anyway, a nice, quiet day, just exactly right.

Thanks for stopping by,

Kara

Hi Kara, I have been thinking, lol, anyway since you are a gifted writer and also enjoy cooking, have you ever considered doing culinary mysteries?? They are such fun to read and include recipes. Also, once your characters are established, you just change the situations, add new recipes and voila!

Moni--
I feel like the market has as many of those as it can handle! But I have included cooks and chefs and restaurant owners on my romances. In fact, I seem to recall that I PROMISED blog readers the chocolate-orange-mint cake recipe from UNDER DEEPEST COVER and I never delivered, because I haven't figured it out yet! Thanks for the suggestion!

Danny--
Uh-oh! Now I really feel guilty. One of these days I've GOT to figure it out. In reality I'm not much of a baker.

Don't feel bad, Kara! Keeping me from eating more sweets is probably a good thing. ;)
