when they plow snow to the side of the road and it gets kinds dirty and light gray i think it looks like crumbs on a crumbcake!

Yesterday my gardener was preparing some raised beds and large containers for planting.

He had been sifting compost into a large round container compressed it and then turned it out onto a tray on the planting bench. I was standing behind him and I swear the large round cake of nearly black compost looked like a fine dark chocolate cake. (Made with black cocoa.)

I was practically salivating. So a little later I retired to the kitchen and produced one. Much smaller of course, but it almost identical in appearance.

"There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett

Tequila Sunrises. Not only do I think of the song if it's a beautiful shimmery sunrise, but I think of my girlhood friend whose parents had a bar, and who made the most beautiful Tequila Sunrises. Three different floating colored layers,yum.

Food Analogies.

Whenever I need an analogy, inevitably it will be a food analogy. Example - my latest was:

When told there are so many men vying for my attention, (but truth be told they are all a bunch of losers), my response was:

"Yeah, but it's like going to a buffet catered by Chef Boyardee"

(in other words, lots and lots of really crappy choices)

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best --" and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called. - A.A. Milne
