We finally got some rain. It's been SO dry here the grass was crunchy. Today it poured. Lots of rain, and we needed that. The town put up the water shortage signs last weekend, and even the rain we got won't get us up to snuff water-wise, but it's a start.
I picked Queenee up at the airport Monday night. Her flight out of Philadelphia was delayed by almost two hours because of low hanging cloud cover in Boston. Uh ... radar anyone? It isn't like there were high winds, or heavy rain/sleet/hail/snow. Just a bit foggy. How do they land planes in England, I wonder? The airport was mobbed, I've never not been able to park on the first floor of the garage, and I got the only spot left on the second floor after going around three times.
She said the candy show was good, small, mostly aimed at Mom & Pop type businesses, but it was a very busy show. Washburn didn't have a booth of their own, they shared with Melville Candy, who make all manner of pops and did very well this show. I love their honey pops, perfect in a cup of tea.
I spent the day working at Washburn, so I managed not to dwell on 9/11 events today. I miss New York.

Sorry, but I started free associating about the FOG. It reminded me of some lines of poetry that invoked great images for me. Here's an excerpt.
ReplyDeleteThe park is filled with night and fog,
The veils are drawn about the world,
The drowsy lights along the paths
Are dim and pearled.
Gold and gleaming the empty streets,
Gold and gleaming the misty lake,
The mirrored lights like sunken swords, Glimmer and shake.
That's from Sara Teasdale: Spring Night.
You said that you missed New York. Did you ever live in the City?
Not in NYC, Port Chester and Purchase was as close to living in the city as I ever got. Still, that was close enough that it was an easy 1/2 hour into Manhattan or Brooklyn, so I was in the city a couple times a week some weeks.
ReplyDeleteBut I miss NY in general. I loved living in Jeffersonville.
was/were ... oh well.
