Sometimes I think photography is like math, because neither is really understood by my brain. Watching instructional videos and reading manuals garner the same result as math class: total cognitive shut down and a noise like the wind in my ears. Basics, yes. But the practical application with this camera…! Damn thing has more settings than the space shuttle. ANYway.
I had scaled the etagere in the kitchen to dust when the green mug caught my eye… It’s from the Texas Renaissance Festival but I dare not hazard a guess which year… Had to be… late 80′s? Though riddled with flaws I love the thing.
As a matter of fact, the top shelf is lousy with RenFest mugs.
Made this for dinner last night, sans thyme, because I don’t keep fresh thyme on hand. Do you? It was delicious anyway.
The Sansevieria trifasciata in my bathroom, one of three pots of it in the house. Had to look up the proper name, as I’ve always called it ‘variegated mother in law’s tongue’. Unfortunately, I’ve never seen one bloom.
Might try that chicken dish sometime. Thinking I might use sprigs of rosemary instead of thyme.

I questioned the lemon but dang it tasted good! Having leftovers tonight.
I love the green mug, and I love you my friend
Love ya back!
So… we’re finally relaxing!? ‘Bout damn time!
No, but soon, very very soon
I worked at Scarborough Faire (outside of Waxahachie, TX) the summers of 1982, 1983 & 1984. I worked in one of the concession clusters. At the end of the day, we basically ate everything that was leftover. So, I ate tons of turkey legs, sausage on a stick, apple fritters with homemade ice cream and steak kabobs. Yum.
It was fun, but DAMN! It was HOT!!! Those costumes definitely weren’t designed for a Texas summer…
Sounds like Heaven!! Except for the heat, of course.
Ours was held in Plantersville in October, so you could pick your weather; one weekend would be nice and warm, another cool and wet. One of the best times it was raining and about 65; very dreary… like you’d imagine life in the 16th century.
Ours was in always in June. I guess because the State Fair was always going on late Sept – Oct. Maybe? I don’t know.
I just know that now I wish I had a turkey leg.
Probably! The Texas State Fair is HUGE! I lived up in Bedford for a winter and remember seeing Big Tex while driving to and from Houston on the weekends…
RenFest was the only time I really enjoyed turkey…
Your photos are lovely. I do not have that ability but that is why I scrap!
Thanks so much, VW! I just point and click, really.
The time and effort you put into scrapping will pay off; the boys will really appreciate it when they’re grown!
