Tonight it's a few favorite recent moments. Great moments, some brief, some longer, just the things that make life sweeter. Lets start with a lunch out shall we? I am giving Wheatfields high marks for a most excellent lunch with the Huffs last week.
The quiche, salad, sandwiches, bread, all delicious and I haven't even gotten to the lemon tart, the carrot cake, and the panne cotta. Marti told me about her old neighbor C.J. Doney, AND how her grandmother, every October, would recite this poem to her...
"Come little leaves, said the wind one day
Come o'er the meadows with me and play;
Put on your dresses of red and gold,
For summer is gone and the days grow cold..."
Can you imagine anything more wonderful, than at 98 years old having this memory of your grandmother? Me neither. Except now I have THIS memory of Marti Huff reciting it in Wheatfields and every single trip there (especially in October) moving forward will be better for it.
Somehow I missed uploading this purple daikon and watermelon radish (from Mellowfield farms) photo into my market post. No matter, now you have seen it. Once again, Mother Nature on display in her absolute finest. Which brings me to the butterfly on the zinnia out back before the cold snap.
For a bit of complete escapism, with lovely characters, scenery, and a sweet story line, you may want to watch Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris. Trailer embedded below for your viewing pleasure. We watched it on Amazon Prime for less than three bucks!
The mums on my front porch below. I took 3 old pillow cases that were no longer fit for use, slit them up one side, and covered each pot with one. Secured on the side with a clothespin, voila! - they survived the frost.
Finally, real quick, Ohio street is where I "leaf peeped" after the farmers market this week. The colors this year are unrivaled. I think I say that every year. I always mean it too.
When I looked up and saw the light in the leaves, it was like the a shot from a movie where some kind of a vision or spectral sighting happens. It didn't, but it sure could have. Right there on Ohio street.
thank you
