When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other. ~ Chinese proverb.
No food pictures today but never fear, we are still eating. Cookies mostly. Instead, I've been trying to take some semi-attractive photos of a couple of books that make good cold weather reading (This Cold Heaven, and Winter's Bone, if you're interested), but the light has not been co-operating and so I am stealing these few slices of summer from my northern friends instead. It's been a cold, hard winter.
(I dreamed a few nights ago that I was writing a book called A Strange Row of Trees, which my unconscious self thought was the most genius title ever. Lord knows what it was about. I also dreamed I was narrowly escaping burning meteors and aliens in tiny spaceships, so, you know. Maybe not.)

You are the ultimate Page-A-Day Calendar, you know that? ;-)
I like that book title a lot...I hope the next time you drift off to sleep, you'll see the words for the first chapter coming right out of your fingertips. That "unconscious self" you have there is full of surprises, I'm betting.

You have the most lovely imagination!

My goodness, I had aliens in my dreams last week, too. Only mine were comical weird men-in-black-style little popping aliens underneath real ordinary everyday things, like shrubs.
Perhaps we're sleep deprived?
