A cool drink of water. We all need water--even if it belongs to someone else. Well, better my glass than the toilet which seems to be a point of curiosity for her lately. And, of course, she gets several fresh bowls of water every day--but the "oh da toilet" is so much more exotic. (now I hope she never learns how to lift the toilet lid.)
It rained on the desert today. More Beautiful Water. It was a slow and gentle, all-day misting that washed the dust away.
I even started the fireplace for the first time this year. And I baked an apple crisp for breakfast so the warm house and fragrant air wrapped me in nostalgic winter comfort. That is not a common experience here in the desert.
As the afternoon cleared I went outside to enjoy the freshness....
The lemons are ripening! The single most wonderful feat of nature is the Lemon.
I add slices to my dishpan when washing dishes--the smell is intoxicating.
I clean the iron skillet with a lemon end and salt. And of course, I add it to my drinking water to keep Sigh Me away. She doesn't like lemon.
Now, time to get back to work.

and I'll try to figure out what's wrong. Or I will enlist Ron's help.
And now is the time for you to make your yummy lemon curd!
ReplyDeleteMy cat Fred prefers my water too. We give him his own water in a mug rather than a bowl. He seems to prefer it that way. Glad you are getting rain. My sister in Calif. is very happy it's rained there.
