Day 275 of 2023

As I was searching this cookbook for an idea for dinner tomorrow, 

I came across this picture and it reminded me

 that I have been thinking about BLTs lately, 

and although that is not what is pictured here, 

I think I can make it work.

Looking up downtown.

 

Day 273 of 2023

I am inspired today. 

With birthday certificates to use before the end of the month, 

we visited several stores today 

and enjoyed looking at all the seasonal displays. 

I am always inspired by cute little houses and villages.

Fall sunset.

 

Day 271 of 2023

 

Do you remember the scene from Fiddler on the Roof 

when the the whole family is so excited to come see "the new arrival"? 

You expect it to be a baby but it turns out to be a sewing machine? 

This reminds me of that. 

Meet our new arrival. 

Our former refrigerator was purchased when we remodeled our kitchen

 twenty-three years ago. 

We've been waiting for this delivery for a month

 and could not be more excited.

 

Day 270 of 2023

I'm still working my way around the kitchen

 cleaning outsides, insides and contents of each cabinet. 

Today I finished this ten foot bank of floor to ceiling cabinets

 containing the dishes and pantry.

 

Day 269 of 2023

This rainbow made my day. 

Thanks to Fireball for pointing it out as usual.
