… that melt into Springs…

These are a few of my favorite things.

I’ve just started looking into Polish history because of a cookbook I received as a gift for Christmas.  I cam across this picture while looking up Boleslaus the Wrymouth on line.  I like the picture a lot, very colorful.  But the name, Boleslaus the Wrymouth, really intrigued me.  I can’t help wonder if he is a distant ancestor, or are we all sort of wry in the mouth..?

Henry Karpinski always knew how to pull his sisters’ strings

Just joking. Those high curved rapiers wouldn’t let you anyway.

Kurt Warner examines an tyrannosaurus skull. I think this is from the New York Natural History Museum, from a series of black and white pics taken on that day. I like the chiaroscuro and the POV of it.

I had been walking past this house for years before I noticed there was a mango tree growing out of it!

Poor me in this pic! I am crying because all the snow has melted and I can’t play in it anymore.

My mom was always up for building a snowman, even in the scant snowfall we had in the mid-1970s.  This one is wearing a newspaper hat.

As described in The Slice website, the Trenton tomato pie is “built as follows: dough, cheese, toppings, and then sauce.” In other words, backwards. But I don’t remember the pies I ate back then being built that way. Actually, I didn’t even like tomato pies. Maybe that was why?

I also remember them as being extremely greasy.

The elderly recluse never left her estate. Accompanied by her eldest man-child, faithful servants, and youthful heir, she wheeled herself around her vast gardens inspecting the water lilies.

The ever-flowing Eye of the Citadel was the source of her vitality. But when the waters dried up, so did she.
