Hanging around
Last week I showed you our first sunrise at the cabin we rented on South Harbor, just off the Cabot Trail in the Cape Breton Highlands of Nova Scotia. This little red squirrel hung out with us whenever we were at the cabin. It might have been our company, but I think the seed in the bird feeder was the bigger attraction.
What’s for dinner?

New Year’s Day dinner. Field Roast with apples and sauerkraut.
You can’t possibly ask me to go without having some dinner. It’s absurd. I never go without my dinner. No one ever does, except vegetarians and people like that.
~ Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest
Oscar Wilde wasn’t quite right. Vegetarians (and people like that) don’t go without their dinners either (most of the time), but I imagine some people don’t consider a vegetarian meal a true meal in and of itself (and would probably walk away from the table hungry because they don’t consider it a true meal). The other thing he didn’t mention is that some vegetarians forget all about photographing their meals and find themselves nearly finished eating before they do remember. Ooops. Too late.
A whirlwind weekend

Walking the dog
So. How was your weekend? Mine went by so quickly that I’m still trying to catch my breath.

Sunset waves
I come down to the water to cool my eyes. But everywhere I look I see fire; that which isn’t flint is tinder, and the whole world sparks and flames.

Random thoughts, random images

Reminds me of the bonfire
I have a bunch of leftover images and thoughts from the past week, and thought I’d see if I can string them together randomly in a way that makes some sort of sense. Or not. Who says a blog post has to make sense?

Nature isn’t persistently bright; it wears and ages.

A few months ago, a friend sent me the book An Everlasting Meal: Cooking with Economy and Grace

Somewhere on the Towpath Trail.
We were blessed with beautiful weather this weekend. M and I talked about going up to Cleveland for the Ingenuity Festival, but decided we had too much to do to take the hour trip up (and hour trip back). Maybe next year we’ll make it.
