it's been warm these past few days. however, when i went out this afternoon (in a t-shirt, jeans and flip flops) i did find the leaves changing color.
chanda has too many pointe shoes. does she wear all these?
i have a great meat market in my neighborhood these days. they get all sustainably raised local meat and they had salt pork, which i was surprised at. but it was great, because i used it for making baked beans in my red bean pot from sturbridge. we had beans (and also hot dogs from the same market) with a salad.
and we had ice cream just because it was so warm . . even though it was dark way earlier than i would like!
Just think of all the money that is in these shoes! Our neighbor's maple trees have no leaves left! The food looks yummy. We do not have good meat in the area at all. You are very lucky. Enjoy the beginning fall in the city.
ReplyDeleteHello Eva, It's still quite warm and humid here. I was expecting the weather to be like this, as it's been the trend these past seven years, but it still makes me a bit grumpy!!!! (I remember it being warm and humid for the first time on Halloween in 2007. . even since then summer weather has consistently extended into fall).
DeleteYes, all the money in those shoes . . I guess I should be glad she still tries to wear them even though they are probably rather dead. She keeps gluing them I think.
I do find it interesting that there is a market for sustainably raised meat and local produce here in the city.
Here it is cold and like in November, quite a sudden change from the beautiful weather last weekend.
DeleteHow can she glue them? Charlotte has just one pair, but has never tried to glue hers when they looked like they would fall apart.
There must be more people interested in that kind of meat. When I was little, five or so, we lived next to a butcher. Each morning we would hear the squealing of the pigs before they were slaughtered.
I think we will have a cold Halloween.
DeleteHi Eva, yes, it was a very cold Halloween! And your sentence about the pigs squealing gives me much to pause and think about. How long did you live there for?
DeleteChanda says she glues her shoes to make them last longer, so they don't get soft as fast. It's a special glue she buys in the ballet shop, and it depends on what make of shoes you wear. Her Freed's are softer than Grishko and Russian Pointe. What does Charlotte wear?
We only lived there for a year. I was maybe 5? I am not sure anymore, but not in school yet.
DeleteI have never heard of the glue. Charlotte has Bloch right now. Does the glue work?
