The Sunday Post

We took my in-laws to Eastside Cafe. For dessert we had rain. It rained while were out visiting the garden and nothing could have been more perfect. Thunder and all. Early, yesterday morning, I was in the hammock watching the parade of billowy clouds go by. They were moving fast with their edges in constant flux as if they were waving . Huge masses passed over, one after another heading northwest. Nooo....don't go, stop and make rain! The day gave way to more of the same:heat and exhaustion. This morning I went out again and found the clouds to be a bit darker and broodier and not really in motion. I had things to do so I moved along. They finally turned into a small down pour that seemed to take many by surprise.

At home we had raspberry sorbet on meringue cookies. I made them and was really very happy with how they turned out. They tasted so fresh and yummy, no guilt. I had never made meringue before, I like to read cookbooks and read meringue recipes but never made one. Feeling up to the challenge, I decided to remove this mental block. They were really quite easy and seem hard to mess up.



This weekend I also noticed that the little rose bush I have been nursing since May is really thriving. It was almost thrown out in May but it had just a tiny bit of green left so I tried to save it. I think it is all the banana peels I feed it.
