Greetings! it is a rainy fall afternoon here! came home from work and immediately sat down with a nice hot cup of ovaltine...followed immediately by a hot cup of mint tea :) and a couple no-bakes. yay!!
so, pictures 1 and 2 relate to the poem following. pictures 3 and 4 are more wrecky cakes from our friendly neighborhood grocery store (someday i'll quit being lazy and actually send them to cakewrecks, where you will be able to view them with clever captions, etc. but for now, here they are, unadorned :) and picture 5 is me with a zucchini baby! didn't grow this personally :( not by a long shot, but a friend of daniel's did and we were the lucky recipients! double yay!
a poem, about just about giving up on ever finding the right love for you (oh, and may i just say that in The Night Circus, there are twins nicknamed Poppet and Widget, which is just wonderful:) :
A winsome widget puzzled over this:
If I'm unique, who can I hope to kiss?
Impractically scatter-brained but sweet
Could cancel out. But there's no one to meet!
I may as well be locked up in a tower,
Growing grayer, lonelier, tear-free and sour.
Bring on the dragons! There's no prince for me
However guarded, or however free.
But as Widget whiled away her time in groans,
A gallant Gadget heard her mournful tones
And, coming closer, fell so quick in love
His first words were, "Hello! My turtledove!"
And Widget, overwhelmed with gratitude,
O'er looked his hasty fall--for she fell, too.
