my kind of sunday.

















































hi there.


for me,
this morning
was a morning of apples.
and of orchards
and of what really looked a lot like dew.
it is that time of year i suppose.

i wore my favorite boots.
i stepped in mud.
i ate corn on the cob from the barbeque
and drank cream soda
from a bottle.



this afternoon,
i'm catching up on some reading
and i'm working on those little pear cakes
i mentioned the other day.
but, they've changed since then
and now they're






ceylon cinnamon & pear tarts with brown butter & walnuts







yum. recipe coming soon.
oh and i'm relishing
in the little bits of weekend
left to be had.



and finally today is my dad's birthday.
so dad, if you're reading

happiest of birthdays to you.







have a good one friends.
talk soon. xox, n.

I always call apples with the leaves on them Sugarlies, for no real reason though.
