out and about
























there is no longer
dancing 
at the matador club,
but an open cafe
can be found.
street trees
remain 
green in the cool
autumn days,
we wonder
what goes on
behind
the blue tarp
covered windows.
it is good to
know that the
corner discount
operates
seven days a week
and
pumpkins
are plentiful
this year.

i like best

the
squashes.
i tend to
buy too
much.

mixed bean salad




















I was given a copy of the
Jerusalem
cookbook
and have been trying
many of the dishes.
the
one i have made
most
often this summer
is the
mixed bean salad.
my favourite.
a wonderful combination
of colours and flavours.
there are many more
recipes to try
as
you can see
by the bookmarks.

soap



















it is the packaging that
attracted me,
the soap looks
and smells good.
one feels
clean even
before
using it.

end of summer




















the garden angel
looks resigned,
the hosta fatigued
and eaten,
cooler breezes
waft in,
a weaker
sun creates
longer shadows,
my tiny dark
garden is
wilting into
autumn.
