Wordless Wednesday: Even Inside It's Summer

Lazy mornings. Who could want more?

It was one of those days..

This happened recently and it was a funny but dangerous incident. The pictures almost tell the story.

I sit down to breakfast, mug of tea on hand, bowl of oatmeal ready, laptop done with, the newspapers to read.

I decide to light the nice red candle to the left of my placemat. Make it a nice breakfast atmosphere just for me.

While eating my oatmeal I read the newspaper,  and then slowly notice something.

The open page of the paper is right over the candle, and is slowly starting to burn. Fortunately that was all.  Could I blame it all on the night before???

It was that glorious full moon AND the eclipse. I say that's what it was and stick to that story, but I don't burn candles at the breakfast table any more.

Oh so Grateful

that my friend Carol in cold cold Maine taught me how to make Cream of Wheat in the microwave. This batch has ground almonds and cherries on top in addition to the butter and maple syrup. REAL maple syrup!

I was ready for something different this am, but not exactly a salad. I thought ...ah peanut butter toast, but with what?? I didn't have any cooked bacon, and I didn't feel like cooking any sooo.....

As I was pondering, I looked outside at the herb area and Aha! the arugula is sprouting pretty well. That plant is about 5 years old and lives in a deep pot outside where it only gets fed by the rain. Good plant!

And a tasty breakfast - with tea of course.
