My world view...maybe

OK, OK, I have been a lazy blogger lately, but honestly, summer is my least favorite time of year, and it sort of sucks the life out of me. Add to that all the big stuff I've had happen this summer, and I am just burned out. Anyway, I saw this comic this morning, and some days, this is so my point of view:

New Favorite Website

I have a new favorite time-wasting website: Shorpy. It is "a vintage photography blog featuring thousands of high-definition images from the 1850s to 1950s." The pictures are amazing. They are, for the most part, scanned high-def images from the Library of Congress Research Archives. It is a great way to spend some time in history. I have added a link to the site on my sidebar of favorites.

More fruitiness


To continue the fruit theme for the week - Emily brought me some fresh blueberries, picked from the bushes in her yard. They are small blueberries, almost like huckleberries. When I saw their size, my first thought was "I have to bake something with these!" So, I did. Blueberry-lemon muffins from one of my Moosewood Restaurant cookbooks. Since Benjamin is still away and the camera is still with him, there aren't any pictures. You will just have to imagine them, and enjoy this picture of the 20 some pounds of raspberries my parents picked today. I'm jealous. Raspberries don't do so well down here. Ah well. Blueberries are pretty good too.
