Purchased

Tonight, from Fishs Eddy:



A small brown ceramic pot for $1.64. Yep, it doesn't "count" if you buy it with coins.

(Unless you live in Canada, where coins are so ubiquitous you need a specially designed change purse to manage them. The government gives one to every child at age 12—that's Socialism, y'all!)

Almost too awesome

You remember the baked apples I made two nights ago?

I had to cook our two little apples in a 9-by-14-inch casserole dish—because we didn't have any small ones.

BUT! On the way to work today, in a bag on the sidewalk:



Unused amber Corningware baking dishes, each six inches in diameter, with little handles!

PERFECT FOR TWO APPLES.

Thank you, street.

Gimme plates!

These Danish Mothers' Day items:










































No sentimental poetry, just a straightforward illustration of a mother's biological role.

Give those babies their food!

Baked apples!

Extra whipped cream:



Also known as "second dessert."

EAT IT WITH A SPOON WHEN NO ONE'S LOOKING!

Autumn

It's that time of year.

Rain is falling.



Leaves are piling up.



Squirrels are burying their peanuts.



The castille soap is ejaculating wildly across the bathroom instead of squirting nicely into your hand.



Yep, when the soap gets cold and clogs the pump you know that autumn is here. As Pa Ingalls used to say.
